9/30 Religion

This article is explaining how Americans are losing their interest in religion. Americans have become so absorbed in other things in life and been influenced by other religions and beliefs that many aren't sure what to believe in or worship anymore. More people are becoming "spiritual" rather than "religious." People are confused and choose to believe in a higher power or a certain god, but not exactly the God that most of the population in America once believed in. Fewer people attend church. The younger generation don't have the same strong religous beliefs and family ties as the generation before them did. Teenagers worry more about the next crazy party they're going to attend and not about living a righteous life. It can be assumed that as the years go by, more and more people will lose faith and religion will become less and less important. What will America become and how will "religious" people handle the rapidly-changing world?
