What are some examples of religious trends?

AnswerPerhaps the most important religious trend of the present time is for the younger generation to question the beliefs of their parents. Of course, many who question a religion eventually go on to follow the same religion, but others look elsewhere for spiritual fulfilment.

The trend in Europe has been for the growth of Atheism, as Christian faith diminishes in most countries. Even in the United States, atheism is the fastest-growing worldview, although off a low base. In Israel, the majority of the Jewish population is now said to consist of "secular Jews".

Other trends are for Muslims to convert to Christianity, Christians to convert to Islam, or for people to become Buddhists. The ancient beliefs of South Korea are giving way to Christianity, which also claims to be making inroads in China. Many in the West are finding spiritual fulfilment in alternative religions such as Wicca, neo-paganism and so on.

The overall trend is for increasing numbers to abandon the religious beliefs of the older generation.
