@issue 4 teens: Soul Searching - Part Three

According to sociologist Reginald Bibby, Canadian teens are turning away from religion in ever-increasing numbers. Nearly a third profess no faith at all. But Bibby's research also shows that those teens who do believe are more devout than the previous generation. Why is the gap between young believers and non-believers growing so rapidly? Are today's teens giving up on God for good? In this episode, @issue 4 teens host Kevin O'Keefe talks to Christian, Muslim, Jewish and atheist teens about living with -- and without -- religion.

The only reason for the "growth of Islam" in Canada is the influx of Muslim immigrants. Both Islam and Christianity are fraudulent, fear based control systems that have no place in a civilized society. Among Canadian youth, atheism is on the rise more rapidly than any religion. This gives me hope for the future.

Also temptation is purely a religious concept. It has been proven that these urges are biological so why do people still try to say they are outside forces from a tempter?

it's growing mostly because families of that faith are moving to the country, not because of converts.
