If you aren’t worried about the values of future generations, you should be.
A recent survey of Baby Boomer and Gen Z attitudes regarding their major religions and values suggests that Gen Z – and America – may be in crisis.
When survey participants were asked whether they thought patriotism was “very important,” 76% of Baby Boomers said they did, while only 32% of Gen Zers said the same.
Belief in God was even less important to Gen Z, with only 26% saying it was “very important,” compared to 65% of Baby Boomers who said it was important.
Having children was the least important to Gen Z and Baby Boomers, with just 23% of the former saying it was “very important” compared to 52% of the latter.
Baby Boomers seem to have better values, Steve Dees I don’t think the statistics are promising for either group.
“Frankly, this is a sad statistic,” Steve Dees said. “Belief in God and religion is responsible for a 13-point drop in your generation’s value of children. It makes me wonder what God you believe in and what your religion is.”
“If you think patriotism is 25 points more important than having children, then what could be more patriotic than having children and carrying on your values, traditions and heritage?” Deese asked again, adding that “it’s crucial that confusion is widespread even among baby boomers.”
When asked if they thought the US was the best place to live, 66% of Baby Boomers answered “yes,” while just 33% of Gen Zers said the same.
“I’m telling you right now, these numbers are irreversible without a great awakening-level revival. These numbers are irreversible. These trend lines are not going to change. We don’t have the power to change these things,” Diess warned.
