Young more likely to pray than over-55s - survey
#2
RE: Young more likely to pray than over-55s - survey
I took a quick look at it.
The study mostly doesn't mention particular religion, and when it does it's Muslims.

Also, it doesn't mean that religion is on the rise but that among already religious people the younger pray more.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
