Young Nones

Its Wednesday night, Truthseekers time for our weekly prayer meeting!
According to a recent Pew research study, the young nones are shaping the political future of this country. These are the young adults who claim no affiliation with an organized religion:
Here is a bit of good news for liberals still sunk in despair after last weeks debate. The outcome of the 2012 election may have just become excruciatingly uncertain, but we now have yet more evidence that in the long term, not even God can save the American right
Of course, we already knew that demographic trends bode ill for the GOP. The party is hugely dependent on white voters, who make up an ever-declining share of the electorate. But it also relies on religious voters at a time when, according to a fascinating new report from the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, the number of religiously unaffiliated Americans has reached an all-time high.
Perhaps the most important finding in the report, Nones on the Rise, is that, for the first time, there are now as many Americans who claim no religion as there are white evangelicals, the backbone of the GOP. Both groups make up about a fifth of the population, and the number of Americans without religion is on track to surpass the born-again population. About a third of adults under 30 dont associate themselves with any faith, compared with only 9 percent of those over 65. This is not, the report suggests, simply a result of a general youthful tendency toward apostasy. "Young adults today are much more likely to be unaffiliated than previous generations were at a similar stage in their lives, it says.
Politically, this is a big deal, because the religiously unaffiliated are as reliably Democratic as white evangelicals are Republican. In 2004 John Kerry won 63 percent of the no religion vote, while four years later Barack Obama won 75 percent. There are roughly twice as many self-described liberals (38%) as conservatives (20%) among the religiously unaffiliated, the report says. Among voters overall, this balance is reversed. Ever since Ronald Reagan came to power in 1980, conservative born-again Christians have had an outsized effect on our politics. We are approaching a point where the nonreligious could be equally influential.
Thats not to say that all of those who reject religious labels are strict rationalists. The report uses the clunky term religiously unaffiliated in order to cover the diversity of views among the cohort its describing. Only 29 percent of them say theyre atheist or agnostic; the rest describe their religion as nothing in particular. Most say that religion isnt particularly important in their lives, but theyre likely to believe in God, and many describe themselves as spiritual.
Still, these are largely secular people, not people whove abandoned Christianity for Eastern mysticism or new-age magic. The unaffiliated are about as likely as Christians to believe in reincarnation, astrology, or the evil eye, the report says. There are exceptions30 percent of the unaffiliated believe in spiritual energy located in physical things such as mountains, trees, and crystals, compared with 23 percent of Christians. But overall, this is a group that rejects supernaturalism.
For 30 years, Republicans have deployed an aggressive, bombastic piety to their advantage. Now a changing population is turning the partys social conservatism into a burden.
The growth of this bloc puts Republicans in a bind. Some theorists believe young people are rejecting religious labels precisely theyve become intertwined with reactionary social policies. The report quotes Robert D. Putnam and David E. Campbells book American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us, which argued that as the religious right gained power, young Americans came to view religion as judgmental, homophobic, hypocritical, and too political. And yet, as more secular Americans turn away from the GOP because of its association with the religious right, voters from the religious right will make up a greater and greater share of the party, pushing it to further alienate secularists.
Its the same dynamic thats happening with white voters. Republican Party leaders understand that, eventually, theyll have to reach out to Hispanic voters to survive. But as long as white voters anxious about their declining numbers and cultural influence dominate the GOP, it cant moderate its positions on issues like immigration without risking a revolt from within.
So too with the culture wars. For 30 years, Republicans have deployed an aggressive, bombastic piety to their advantage. Now a changing population is turning the partys social conservatism into a burden it cant shake. You dont have to believe in God to see the cosmic justice in that.
There may be hope for this nation yet.
Hallelujah.

(10,419 posts)I had her for 5 years before she died from injection-site cancer. We put her through 3 surgeries and radiation trying to save her life.
It probably would have been more humane to have her euthanized, but I just couldn't. Our (darling) vet offered to come to our house so Sam wouldn't have to take that Last Ride to the vet, but....
I miss her every day.
Sigh.
