Many assumptions are being made by today's church leaders regarding the millenial generation, and most are not positive. This generation has been blanketly labeled by many as apathetic, lazy, and worse. Some say that this generation lacks a moral compass or any passion for spiritual things.

However, a recent survey says something very different.

A few results of the survey are listed below:

• 40% (of millenials) say religion is very important in their lives, similar to 39% of Boomers at the same ages.
• 41% report praying daily, like 42% of Gen Xers as young adults.
• 53% are "certain God exists;" 55% of Gen Xers were certain at the same ages.

The changes are not as drastic as we have assumed - their manifestation of belief just may be reflected differently than that of other generations.

It's time for us to stop assuming and start asking.
