Remember what Jesus Christ said: (WOLVES, SHEEP'S CLOTHING)-Millennial young are a godless, hero generation

Today’s young people are, apparently, uniquely godless. Studies released this week by the Pew Forum have revealed that 25% of young Americans born after 1980 self-define as “atheist”, “agnostic” or “nothing in particular”, as opposed to 19% of the previous cohort. A similar decline is taking place in Britain, with the British Humanist Association reporting a 10% decline in religious faith among young people in less than 10 years. Across the west, fewer young people than ever are attending church services and other religious ceremonies. This reported lack of formal religious belief chimes with the dominant stereotype of the millennial generation as amoral, directionless and self-obsessed – but my generation is nothing of the kind.

In fact, I would argue, those of us who are reaching adulthood in the 21st century are in many ways more conventional than our parents. Generational theorists Strauss and Howe have identified the millennials, born between 1980 and 1999, as a “hero” generation: orthodox, driven, a little boring, and with a deep desire to save the precarious world that we are about to inherit, as opposed to the more chaotic and cynical adults of “generation X”. The last batch of “heroes”, according to Strauss and Howe, was the “great” generation who fought the second world war. A hero generation comes into its own in periods of social crisis, and the shadow of global recession and climate change has convinced today’s young people that it will be down to us to fix the mistakes of our parents and grandparents. We just don’t require God to help us do so.

MATTHEW 10:
I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. 17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. 18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
