An increase in religious “nones” challenge religious leaders in East Lansing, Mich.
While those of faith become more devout, the number of nonbelievers drifting further from religion grows, according to a study conducted in 2015 by the Pew Research Center. And millennials are the least devout of any generation, a trend observed by religious leaders around East Lansing, Mich. “There is a trend of people who shy away from the term ‘religious,’” said Matt St. Germaine, a 21-year-old volunteer at 242 Church, a nondenominational Christian organization based in Brighton, Mich.
