There is a very interesting article on ChurchRelevance about how young non-believers view evangelicals. The article comes from the US and reflects the situation there. The sad thing, is that I think it would make even harder reading if the survey had been conducted in the UK.
Non-Christians aged 16-29 years old were asked, “What is your current perception of Christianity?”
- 91% said antihomosexual
- 87% said judgmental
- 85% said hypocritical
- 78% said old-fashioned
- 75% said too involved in politics
- 72% said out of touch with reality
- 70% said insensitive to others
