Four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump has been successfully selling white Christian nostalgia, racism and xenophobia to his base. However, the Public Religion Research Institute’s massive poll of 6,616 participants suggests that what works with his base might pose an insurmountable problem with Gen Z teens and Gen Z adults (who are younger than 25).
Demographically, this cohort of voters bears little resemblance to Trump’s older, whiter, more religious followers. “In addition to being the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in our nation’s history, Gen Z adults also identify as LGBTQ at much higher rates than older Americans,” the PRRI poll found. “Like millennials, Gen Zers are also less likely than older generations to affiliate with an established religion.”
Those characteristics suggest Gen Z will favor a progressive message that incorporates diversity and opposes government imposition of religious views. Indeed, “Gen Z adults (21%) are less likely than all generational groups except millennials (21%) to identify as Republican.” Though 36 percent of Gen Z adults identify as Democrats, their teenage counterparts are more likely to be independents (51 percent) than older generations.
the people who disagree with the world being a truthful one cannot exist alongside a truthful world, and the world is truthful, you can shove your quran back to the fucking desert as i can tell you would bend over backwards to protect it despite being a self proclaimed “hater of religion”, i only hope the truth will come to you, though you don’t know to receive it :)
Let me know when all the religious folks can agree on what’s true and what’s not. Maybe then I can take religion seriously.
abrahamic religions arent true, non-IE religions arent true, all IE religions that have syncretic features with non-IE religions are not true, that leaves very little room for misinterpretation, but you just fail to look for the truth
All religions aren’t true, therefore the only correct religion is no religion
incorrect, natural law states that you are incorrect, the truth behind the world is observable and the irreligious/abrahamics fail to see this
“Natural law” exists outside the realm of religion, and anyone who claims to know the “truth” has closed themself off to new information. The truth is observable, but what’s observable today wasn’t observable 200 years ago, and what’s observable 200 years ago likely isn’t observable today.
natural law is inherently the religion of the world, and it is the truth, you don’t need microscopes or technology to observe the truth of the world, just your mind, experience, a want to logically comprehend the world, it all would come to you provided you are wise in those capacities
I’m curious how we would come to understand natural laws of atomic structure using logic and experience without microscopes. Discouragement of learning doesn’t normally lead to any “truth” that inconveniences the ruling class.
i encourage learning, go somewhere quiet and away from the lies of society, bring a method of written recording of your choice, and note all the things that come to your mind, focus on the area in question that you wish to conceptualise information about, and it may come to you, more efficiently and clearly when you know what you are doing well
