You're right that it's all about choices, decisions, and setting priorities. I definitely don't think that you have to attend your house of worship regularly to be considered faithful. In fact, what I was trying to say in this post is that there are so many other ways to live your faith. Kristina, thanks for your comments!

You make a very important point about the focus on assimilation in our country, and social pressure definitely does play a large role. Unfortunately, religion falls victim to the whole "cool" conundrum, and I'm not sure if there will ever be an effective way to change that stigma for young people.

I'm not sure that being young is a reason for not being religious. There are plenty of young people who are religious, and plenty of older people who aren't. However, there are a lot of Gen Yers who use youth as an excuse. Rebecca, I hope my post motivates you to write one of your own. I'm not sure that being young is a reason for not being religious.
