How has living in a time of tremendous social change influenced Gen Z’s attitudes towards religion–organized or otherwise? CRCC’s executive director Richard Flory was on KPCC LAist 89.3’s Airtalk<\/em> with Larry Mantle<\/a> to talk about young adults’ connection towards religion in today’s world. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In response to Gen-Z’s decline in religious involvement:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Religion becomes, frankly, another voluntary activity along with any of the other things that jostle time in their lives. The less you are involved in that and the more choice you have, the less likely you choose to remain because other things take over.”<\/p>\n
