https://churchanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Grandparents-helping-child.png1200628I often get asked to give talks to different churches, religious denominations, and parachurch ministries. I am always fascinated by what kind of topics they request. It’s a fascinating window into what Christian leaders want to know and what they think church attendees need to learn. Being asked to chart the American religious landscape has become a popular choice for me in the last couple of years. I also get asked to do a webinar or a talk about the future of American religion with a particular emphasis on Generation Z. That’s also a lot of fun because the oldest members of this generation are now in their late twenties, and many of them have reached an age where their religious affiliation is starting to solidify. Here’s what I never get asked: the religious composition of Baby Boomers. And I think that is kind of odd. Baby Boomers are the most consequential generation to most churches across the United States. As I wrote previously, Boomers are the largest generation in the pews of the average church in the United States. They were born between 1946 and 1964 in the post-World War II period when the American economy was growing incredibly rapidly, and the United States was taking its place as the most productive, wealthy, and powerful country on Earth.
