Young People and Religion Survey Shows Strong Attendance
A nationwide survey by Eugene Gilbert finds 61 percent of teens attend religious services, with Catholics leading attendance, Protestants second, and Jewish youths third. While 71 percent of boys and 67 percent of girls see themselves as religious, interest drops with age. Four of five teens discuss religion with friends, though not regularly, and 82 percent of boys would skip church for a date versus 79 percent of girls. Churches face mixed views on attracting youth, with calls for more teen-focused programs and optional Bible courses in public schools.
