It’s an amazing question.

Who’d have thought, after decades of watching each successive generation spiritually dismount (Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials), that “Generation Z”—those born 1997–2012—would show signs of reverting back.

But at least for now, that seems to be the case.

Noted the Time of London recently: “Members of Gen Z in their teens and twenties are much less likely to identify as atheists than their middle-aged parents in Generation X or their Baby Boomer grandparents, a study has found.

“The youngest generation is also much more likely to say they are “spiritual” than those in the oldest groups. It provides fresh evidence to challenge the assumption that spirituality is declining with each generation, finding that middle-aged members of Gen X, aged between 45 and 60, are the most irreligious generation, with 25 per cent identifying as atheists.”
