Katie Morton / BBP E93 / Growing up Christian in an Atheist world

Katie Morton is a first year college student in Middle Tennessee and offers a unique perspective for parents to consider. Raised in the church her entire life, she has an extensive background in small church dynamics and the real-life issues of family, faith, and culture. Her thoughts and insights are a valuable glimpse into the world of a Generation Z Christian., The poll finds some significant shifts over the last 20 years regarding the values that most Americans identify as most important to them., Nearly nine-in-10 Americans (89 percent) identify “hard work” as a very important value, even higher than the 83 percent who said the same in a 1998 NBC/WSJ poll. But those who say that “patriotism” is very important slid from 70 percent two decades ago to 61 percent now..The share citing religion decreased even more, from 62 percent in 1998 to 48 percent now..Those changes come amid a stark generational divide over which values are seen as most important.. Among those who are either Millennial's or Generation Z (ages 18-38), only 42 percent rate patriotism as a “very important” value, while 79 percent of those over 55 say the same. Just 30 percent of the younger group cite religion or belief in God as very important, while 67 percent of the older group does. And just 32 percent of those under 38 years old call having children very important, while 54 percent of those over 55 agree. “There is an emerging America where issues like children, religion, and patriotism are far less important,” said Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies. “And in America, it’s the emerging generation that calls the shots about where the country’s headed.”The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted Aug. 10-14 of 1,000 adults — more than half reached by cellphone — and it has an overall margin of error of plus-minus 3.1 percentage points.
