Adults are welcome to join us at 10am each Sunday for a time of facilitated “Mindful Discussion.” There is a new topic each week, and it will be advertised in the weekly eNews the week beforehand. Please reach out to Brooke Eldredge or Kate Kowalski by emailing office@uufayetteville.org if you have specific questions.
Topic this Sunday: “Why Some Americans Leave Their Religion While Others Stay.” UUs often find this religion as adults rather than being born into it. A recent Pew Research Center report looks at the choices behind why some people continue to identify with their childhood religion, why others have decided to leave it, and why others don’t identify with any religion at all.
The survey shows that most U.S. adults who still identify with their childhood religion credit the following reasons:
- They believe the religion’s teachings (64% of adults who identify with their childhood religion say this).
- Their religion fulfills their spiritual needs (61%).
- Their religion gives their life meaning (56%).
