According to this article, Conservative's political agenda regarding religious rights has turned young adults away from religion.

Do you think this is true? Do young people get so tired of the hidden agendas and the repressive nature of religious rights campaigns that they just say "to hell with it," and give up on religion all together?

My stance on the matter is simply...Meh....

I think religious groups turn enough people away on their own, even without the help of the Conservatives with personal gain on their mind. I suppose the politics involved is just icing on the atheist's cake.

What do you think?

According to the article, young adults aren't necessarily being turned away from religion as a whole, but are being turned away from the religious institutions. So they are not going to church anymore.  I, for one, see this trend around where I live.

More and more people that I know either identify themselves as Non-denomination Christians.  They believe in God and Jesus but don't go to church or call themselves spiritual, as in they believe in a God, but organized religion seems corrupted.

I too think the relgious institutions are more at fault for turning away young people than whatever political agenda the religious right is promoting though.
