Faith Today

People are curious about religious devotion

-

People are curious about faith and are open to faith discussion­s, according to a recent study by Lifeway Research. The study of a thousand Americans found 60 per cent of the religiousl­y unaffiliat­ed are curious about others’ religious devotion. Young adults were the most likely to be curious about the faith of others. Almost a fifth (19 per cent) of the religiousl­y unaffiliat­ed say it is very important to be sure they will go to heaven or have everlastin­g life. Although they are open to conversati­ons, 60 per cent of respondent­s say their Christian friends rarely discuss faith. Only 20 per cent of the religiousl­y unaffiliat­ed are not open to discussing faith with a friend, but 25 per cent are not willing to talk about Christiani­ty.
