Last week I mentioned the idea of "Moralistic Therapeutic Deism", which describes the type of faith found in the life of a normal teenager in America today, based on the research done by Christian Smith and Melinda Lundquist Denton and documented in their book, Soul Searching: The Religious And Spiritual Lives Of American Teenagers.
See this article, On “Moralistic Therapeutic Deism” as U.S. Teenagers’ Actual, Tacit, De Facto Religious Faith for a very good summary article of the book's primary findings.
