Religion and the college student…a lost cause?
Current college students are focused on sharing ideas and protecting the individual right of freedom of religion. Stephen Prothero, a religious chair at Boston University, found that students in his introductory religious course believed in being non-judgemental.
Prothero, thoroughly identified the concerns and beliefs of college students. He explained their aversions and how they mix religion with fun. Prothero believes that students have changed their views in the Millenial Generation,and I agree.
Prothero blames the ignorance of the church and the religious institutions for not recognizing the youth populace as an important and necessary focus for the future .
Prothero’s article ” Is religion losing the millennial generation?” is part of a weekly Religion column on the New York Times website.
