A rising number of young people believe in God or a higher power, according to a recent survey of Americans aged 18-25.
The survey, conducted in December by the Springtide Research Institute and noted Sunday by the Wall Street Journal, found approximately one-third of respondents believe in a higher power, marking an increase from just a quarter who said that in 2021.
Multiple young adults, church leaders and theologians who spoke to the Wall Street Journal attributed the apparent increase to the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic, which the Rev. Darryl Roberts of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., said stripped away many of the protections young people had come to expect.
Some of the young people who spoke to the outlet indicated that a belief in a higher power does not necessarily carry over into identifying with an organized religion.
“We are seeing an openness to transcendence among young people that we haven’t seen for some time,” says Abigail Visco Rusert, associate dean at Princeton Theological Seminary, told the outlet.
The Wall Street Journal noted that other polls, such as one conducted by Gallup in 2022, have found that belief in God is in decline. While the vast majority of respondents said they still believe in God, Gallup found that number had dipped from 87% in 2017 to 81% last year. More than 90% of Americans believed in God between 1944 and 2011, according to Gallup.
A Wall Street Journal-NORC poll published in March found that 31% of Americans ages 18 to 29 claimed religion was very important to them, which the outlet noted was the lowest percentage among all adult age demographics.
A report by the Pew Research Center and the General Social Survey published in September found a surge of adults leaving Christianity to become atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular.” It predicted that if the number of Christians under 30 abandoning their faith accelerates beyond the current pace, adherents of the historically dominant religion of the U.S. could become a minority by 2045.
The Springtide Research Institute survey comes amid recent revival movements that have swept some college campuses such as Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, which drew national attention in February after students conducted round-the-clock worship services in its chapel for days. Similar movements then spread to other Christian colleges nationwide.
Yes there is no trust in other humans, only in
higher powers . but beware of hateful demons
like JHWH !
There was no better man than John the Baptist to baptize Jesus.
Was it a Jewish baptism Jesus received?
I doubt it for it was the Jews who had John the baptist murdered.
Baptism these days is associated with a religion, along with it all the baggage.
So, who’s going to baptize me?
Probably best I make it a private matter…
“I renounce Jewish lies in all its forms and I stand with my friends in the Christian community. And that my fellow truth-tellers is how you buy yourself some time.
Though some Judeans did practice immersion in water for the purpose of spiritually cleaning oneself if one had come into contact with a dead body or something unclean. A Christian immersion/baptism was a public dedication to God, therefore something very different and performed only once.
I think John the baptist was the first to adopt the Christian form of baptism which was endorsed by Jesus Christ.
At my baptism I would like Jesus to be my witness, convincing him to be with me makes me realize I have much work to do.
Of course these sort of articles..when one gets past the usual..’polls suggest’..’sources say’…’new data indicates’.. pabulum.. are designed to plant the seeds of the new technocratic theocracy… the Aquarian awakening..
lt refers NOT to Christians (who are deemed problematic..just like white men)..having served their Piscean purposes and whom they want now to ‘trans–form’ and whose leaders ..are fully on board with the ecumenical soon to be technocratic ‘religion’..
Neil Postman makes a good case for this with prescience..in his forty odd year old tome ‘Technopoly’.. (read it)..and he’s not alone..
You see… they always need a state (this time global) religion or ahem..morality play… and tranny’s and nonce’s and screaming women are just a stop gap…(the Babble-on stage)..
To dissolve the Old ready for the New…which they always do via inversion and in which this ‘New’ is really just the ‘Old Ones’ anyway… (and ‘whom’ they have always worse-shipped)…
Of course this new world will be mischlings and browns… the only (sort of) whites will be the Governors… which of course explains their hatred of whites..(and why the yellas in the ‘know’… are so paranoid)

NB: there will be a heavy Matriarchal bent to this new system because unbalanced feminine systems always create and support tyranny.. and tend toward the perverse and violent and sacrificial..
and thus females will most likely administer and be given charge of this New Crooked Theocracy…(take a peek at the Anglican church)…
So you fellas had better watch out..
It is not only the youth as you can see from the following poem spontaneously generated by an AI chat-box after being asked to make a poem of a wheel.
The English translation is like so:
The Wheel
The wheel spins in time
Carrying dreams and pains
It lifts some to the peaks
And drops some to the abyss
The wheel knows no mercy
Nor does it distinguish between people
It changes the fates without reckoning
And tests patience and faith
So whoever rides the wheel must be careful
And trust in God in every step
For life is a mysterious play
And we do not know what the future holds
