The American Worldview Inventory 2021 assessed the perspectives of four generations: Millennials, Gen X, Baby Boomers, and the Builders. They found that Millennials have gone farther in cutting ties with traditional Christian views and normative biblical teachings than previous generations. Just 16% of Millennials and 26% of Gen X believe that they will go to Heaven if they accept Jesus as their savior, compared to approximately half of the generation before them. Moreover, 43% of Millennials stated they either don't know, don't care, or don't believe God exists compared to 28% of Boomers. 44% of Millennials believe Satan is real and influential, compared to 64% of Boomers. 31% of young adults strongly agree that what is considered "morally right and wrong" varies over time and is based on societal standards, compared to just 25% in 2018. Christian press reacted strongly to this study, suggesting that the beliefs and behaviors of younger Americans "threaten to reshape the nation's religious parameters beyond recognition."
