OMG!: How Generation Y is redefining Faith in the iPod Era
Topic: Society 12:52 pm EDT, Apr  9, 2005

... a groundbreaking study of the comparative identities of young Jews, Catholics, Protestants and Muslims and their relationship to both religious identity and institutional religion.

Entitled "OMG! Generation Y is Redefining Religion, Identity and Community," the results will be released at the Brookings Institute in April 2005.

The early findings indicate that this is the most diverse generation in history –- only 7% of those polled have friends who are mostly the same religion as they are. The nature of their religious commitment defies easy categorization, but they are not checked out or disengaged.

The overwhelming majority has an informal religious attachment that is individualistic and exists without the reinforcement of institutional religious commitment.

The watchwords are decentralization and disintermediation.
