What the
hell is
this?!




           By Catherine and Gosia
Declining Attraction Of Religion
• Religious organisations are unattractive to young people.
• Services = boring, repetitive, old-fashioned, elderly based, and
  out-of-touch with modern values.
• Different views on abortion, contraception, women
  priests, gay rights, and sex before marriage.

George Carey (1991)- “The Church of England is like an elderly
lady who mutters away to herself in a corner, ignored most of
the time.”
Expanding Spiritual Market
• Lynch (2008)- Young people turn away from
  conventional ideas of religion.
• Roof (2001)- ‘Expanded spiritual marketplace’.
  Growing exposure and accessibility to wide
  variety of religious and spiritual ideas;
  exploration. Beliefs can be built on and
  identities created to express themselves.
The Privatisation Of Belief
• Young people treat religion as a private
  matter.
• They may not feel like they belong to a
  particular religion, or hold any specific beliefs.
• Prefer not to make a public display of their
  beliefs or admit them in surveys.

Davie- ‘believing without belonging.’
Secular Spirituality & The Sacred
• Lynch- although young people may be
  diverted from religion as normally
  conceived, they may be finding religious
  feelings inspired in them by aspects of what
  are generally regarded as non-religious or
  secular life.
• Young people may not have lost all
  religiosity, but find new forms.
Declining Religious Education
• Bruce- Church of England is unable to recruit young
  people by socialising them into religious thinking
  (e.g: Sunday schools or religious education.)
• Sunday schools = in decline. In 2000, 1 in 25 children
  attended.
• This will continue to decrease over time.
Pragmatic Reasons
• Leisure = bigger part of life for young people, with
  shops, clubs, and pubs open for long hours (including
  on Sunday’s.)
• Young people have more demands on their time –
  they have more enjoyable and interesting things to
  do.
• Seen as ‘uncool’ to be religious (social pressure in
  peer groups.)
The Generational Effect
• Each generation is becoming more secular than the
  previous one.
• Young people are not socialised to be religious (born
  into secular society.)

Voas and Crockett- “Each generation is half as religious
as their parents.” This is known as the ‘period effect’
where people born in a particular time are more likely
to be religious than others.
