Question

Tradition & Millennials

Religion has been more and more at the forefront of politics within the last 20 years, and while millennials seem to be moving away from religion, there is also a more vocal and active religious movement (of all varieties) within the US.

What do you think of this push and pull?

Are they related to each other? Does one feed the other?

(Of course, talking about religion is always dicey territory, so please be aware that question is not a soapbox for why religion is/is not good/bad/dying/etc. Please be respectful in that you will likely disagree with each other, but feel free to engage in conversation, and please do so with respect and empathy.)

Answer 1

Religion is the combination of Various dogmas, beliefs, tradition, and practices that make the connection between a human being and god or supreme divinity.

Most of the religions of today’s world like Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism etc. have emerged in ancient times. They influence almost every culture, society, and civilizations with their teachings, ethics, and beliefs.

Religion has been intermingled with the politics in the last twenty years. Hence, millennial seem to shift from their religions because due to political interventions religions lost their true essence. under changed circumstances, religions become the tool of political parties and business families.

Religious push and pull affect the religious movements adversely because millennials are very rational and contain free will and free-living peoples and they want not to bout with moral rules and regulations of religions. Every religion demands authority on its followers. It is one of the other factors causing people to shift from religions. Push and pull of religions related to each other because more the religions want to increase the number of followers and approached them, more they shift away from them due to authoritative nature of religions.
