It is observed that young adults around the world are less religious by several measures. Give some theoretical strands in support of this observation.

• Socialization → Steve Bruce tells that with increasing bureaucracy, close knit societies give way to differentiated one. This reduces a common morality.

• Pluralism → With rising sects and cults, religion becomes multifold. There is no one religion & it recedes.

• Invisible religion → Thomas Luckmann tells that even though attendance in Church decreases but people take religion to private lives & not public.

• Technology → Steve Bruce tells that as technology solves humans' problems, they rely less on God.

• Decreasing attendance in Church

• Decreasing influence in public institutions → eg education, health etc. (Bryan Wilson)

• Secularisation of religion itself → Eg → religion reflecting ways of life of society, solving Mundane problems
