Abstract:

While Boomers have often been characterized by a decline in traditional religious beliefs, this rate seems to have slowed (and in some cases halted altogether) among Generation X’ers. With little else unique about this cohort’s religious and social attitudes, one must question the meaningfulness of setting Generation X apart from the rest of those born in the second half of the twentieth century.
