What's the opinion of the older, religious generation with regards to the younger generation choosing "none" - bad parenting? Bad church youth programs?
I would guess the reason more youth are choosing none, are the brain washing and peer pressure tactics of the political Left religions within Public Schools. It is also the Lefty bias and censorship in Government, Social Media and Colleges. However, many parents and Conservative leaders are now fighting back, so this trend could reverse in the future. Once there is more than one allowed option, young people will experiment both ways.
I was reading an article the other day, about Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary biologist. He is/was the darling of the political Left for his work in Evolution and his stance on religion. He was recently asked about gender and he said, "as a Biologist, the hard data says there are only 2 sexes; male and female.
This drove the political Left, into a tizzy, since he is/was highly respected when he appeared to be one their side, exclusively. This sunshine soldier loyalty, is the attitude the children have to face in schools and culture; go along to get along or else. This two faced messaging could be the beginning of the end for the Lefty religions, and may even create a problem for rational Atheists, if they become science hypocrites to someone who is like their Pope.
Like I have been saying, casino math allow politics to interface and influence the life sciences that use the same casino math. Both use black boxes, which allows any theory to exist, since it is hidden in a black box. All you need is fuzzy dice data. However, since two sexes is a common theme of evolution and needs no black box, this is rational hard science, without the need for casino math; fuzzy dice theory. The rational people, on all sides, have no choice, which can then separate the Left into rational and irrational; house divided cannot stand.
