Why Young Men Are Flocking Back to Christianity
What’s driving the resurgence of young people, especially men, interested in Christianity?
Mark my words: over the next decade, we’re going to see a massive rise in the number of young men, maybe 15–30 years old, that identify as Christian. There will be a 5,000 word think-piece by some Professor from Harvard Divinity School on the front page of the New York Times or People Magazine or something. And this will be front-page news because it rejects the narrative that people are becoming less religious as progress marches on.
Here’s what got me thinking about this…
Last week, I had two conversations. Two men, both were a little younger than me (late twenties, early thirties), previously Atheist or Agnostic or Areligious, that had been looking for answers to life’s big questions and started looking to religion, specifically, Christianity.
It struck me as important because I’ve heard this before. It happened three or four other notable times, right at the beginning of the Pandemic. In all, I’ve had probably a dozen conversations with young men who say the same thing, and, what’s really strange is that they all phrase it the same way.
