    Why younger people believe less in

    religion?

    Alejandro Pastrana, Alonso Madrigal, Emilio Moreno, Erick Tinoco


    Sociology
    Why is this a social issue and not a personal trouble?
    It is a social issue because religion is made from cultural beliefs, traditions, common
    values, and it needs a society in order to function. Nowadays the world has been
    constructed, mainly, with the morals and values of the occidental catholic church.
    When the youth stops believing the generational barriers that already existed are
    intensified. Also, the values, way of thinking, morals and the social beliefs are going to
    change, creating a new world or a different world from the one that we currently live in
    for the next generations to come.
    Demographic group
    The demographic group will be teenagers from thirteen to twenty five years
    old, that live in mexico. The studying group will consider both genders (male
    and female). The study will collect data from articles and charts published
    from 2017 to the present.
    Hypotheses
    1. Younger generations are more open minded and question more their reality.
    As a result, they deny common beliefs and traditions to the point of stop
    believing them.
    2. Young people don’t believe in religion because they feel it as an idea of the
    past, an atavism. Therefore they don’t feel the connection with those beliefs.
    3. New generations reject religion because they haven’t been taught as children
    in the past were taught. Nowadays, religion isn’t as strong as it was before and
    schools don’t give it too much attention.
    Technique & Justification
    Survey:
    A survey is “an examination of opinions, behavior, etc., made by asking people questions”(Cambridge
    Dictionary, 2022) this quantitative technique works to find precise data that helps visualize with
    numbers and graphs the information we are looking for. In our research we will use this survey to
    determine if our hypothesis is right or wrong, but specially to have a demographic that helps us to
    defend our arguments either if it is right or wrong.
    Interview:
    An interview is “a meeting in which someone answers questions about himself or herself for a
    newspaper article, television show, etc.” (Cambridge Dictionary, 2022) this qualitative technique is
    applied to a selected group of individuals, on ur research we will make an interview so we can know why
    the results of the survey were the way they resulted. As an addition, the interview will also help to see
    the opinion of the people on our subject and what are their beliefs about the topic.
    Since the research contains a quantitative and qualitative technique, it is a mixed research.
