Explanation:

In the past decades, youngsters used to believe the religious teachings of their parents without any thoughts or pondering. But in today's world, children and emerging adults tend to do more research on what has been taught to them. They will accept a religion or believe in only those teachings that they consider to be true. Unlike the past generation where youngsters believed anything taught to them without any questions.

Many sociologists believe that today's emerging adults are not religious but spiritual. Today's adult tends to believe that life is all about helping one another and they do not disintegrate people based on religion.
