One-Third of Adults Under 30 Have no Religious Affiliation

The number of Americans who do not identify with any religion continues to grow at a fast pace. One-fifth of the U.S. public – and a third of adults under 30 – are religiously unaffiliated today, the highest percentages ever in Pew Research Center polling.  Further, the study states, "This large and growing group of Americans is less religious than the public at large on many conventional measures, including frequency of attendance at religious services and the degree of importance they attach to religion in their lives."  What is this study really indicating?  Simple, we, as a nation, are becoming a nation of "non-belief."  We are substituting the belief of is taught in the "Scriptures" for "Humanism," which generally places more importance on rational thought of man than on faith of Elohim (God).  Paul warned of the consequences of such non-belief in his writings to the Thessalonians, especially in 2 Thessalonians 2:11 that states, "And for this reason Elohim (God) sends on them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false."  (I don't believe an interpretation is needed for this verse.)  You may just want to read the entire chapter of 2 Thessalonians 2.  Next, read what Yahusha (Jesus) stated in Matthew 13:24-30; and finally, read Matthew 24:29-31.  Why am I writing about this subject?  Answer: Eschaton.
