Spiritual, but not religious: What do people actually believe these days?

The non-religious are an ever-increasing segment of the population, in the UK, the United States and across the Western world. But what do they actually believe, and indeed not believe, in? In this classic episode from the MOLAD archive we’re joined by evangelist and author Glen Scrivener to discuss the different spiritualities we encounter, especially among younger generations. Are all non-believers Richard Dawkins style naturalistic atheists, or is there a more complex and contradictory set of belief systems out there for those who don’t call themselves Christians? How should the church’s outreach shift to reflect the contemporary mores of Gen-Z and the pick-and-mix spiritualities they often espouse? And are modern social movements, whether ‘woke’ or ‘anti-woke’ functioning like religions without creeds?

Do you feel free to be...

... unapologetically Christian? It often feels like our voice isn’t allowed in this increasingly secular world — our Christian voice isn’t allowed.  

You know, that feeling of wanting to speak up, but being held back by fear of the response?  

But your voice is powerful. And Premier is here to empower you.
