Young people are ‘open and spiritually curious’ – but it is ‘manifesting’ rather than Christ currently capturing their imagination, new findings show.
Katherine Brown, part of the Evangelical Alliance ‘Being Human’ team, says that the survey – on popular dating app, Tinder – reveals that though many people in their twenties (often labelled ‘Gen Z’ if born after 1997) claim to be atheists, ‘they believe in the power of the universe’.
‘Manifesting’ in this sense is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as ‘the act of making something happen by imagining it and consciously thinking that it will happen… Manifesting is based on the idea that you can think your dreams into reality.’
