My answer to the questions

To me, I feel that there are alot of explanations to the rise of secularism in America. One of the main reasons i feel for teenagers is that many kids are purepressered to not go to church or made fun of because they do go.  I think kids feel like it is not cool to go to church or have a relationship with Christ because of how other people are treated around them for having this relationship.  This leads to people not wanting to put in the time or even go experience the church because  of what they see around them or what they hear on the news. In turn people dont care about turning away from church or not going because they want people to like them.  I also feel like many kids have become more rebellious against their parents and are standing up to then and not wanting to go to church anyway so this causes more parents and kids to grow away from Christ. And i think in the past the church was very acceptable, but as people got more lazy or less accepted by culture they stopped going.
