Spiritual but not Religious—Are Millennials Missing the Plot?

I wanted to know why 72% of millennials consider themselves “spiritual, but not religious”—so I asked an African educational activist, a celebrity actor/producer and an author. In our panel, these three, all from different walks of life, startled me with their frank, honest answers. “Isn’t religion,” one of the panelists said, “only for people who can’t think for themselves?” Join me as we explore this big social trend and try to answer the penetrating questions it raises for our future.

    Great video! The sound volume is quite low for most of the video... made it hard to hear even with my volume turned up to maximum!

    Religion should unite all hearts and cause wars and disputes to vanish from the face of the earth, give birth to spirituality, and bring life and light to each heart. If religion becomes a cause of dislike, hatred and division, it were better to be without it, and to withdraw from such a religion would be a truly religious act. For it is clear that the purpose of a remedy is to cure; but if the remedy should only aggravate the complaint it had better be left alone... – Abdu’l-Baha,

    A wonderful conversation that touched on so many aspects of life, spirituality, and religion. Each person's perspective is a window through which we can see ourselves and where we are on a spiritual path.
    I'd love to see a group of junior youth (11-15 year olds) having a discussion about how they perceive their role in the world at their age.
    Thank you so much for making this video.

    I don't suppose you have a transcript available for this one. I liked it and if translated it would be useful in Ukraine
