Study: Gen-Xers Only Half as Likely Than Boomers To 'Lose Their Religion'
Philip Schwadel
Generation X, the set of Americans who came of age in the late 1980s and early 1990s, is often branded as a rules-rejecting, authority-questioning group. But when it comes to religion, new research has revealed that Gen-Xers (born between 1961 and 1981) are surprisingly loyal to their faith -- a finding that also suggests the rising non-religious tide in the United States may be leveling off.
In a study published in the latest edition of The Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, University of Nebraska-Lincoln sociologist Philip Schwadel showed that Gen-Xers are, in comparison with their Baby Boomer predecessors, far more likely to adhere to their religion. In fact, Boomers are 40 to 50 percent more likely than Gen-Xers to "disaffiliate" from their faith. more...
