Nothing is totally true: comment on emerging movement blog

Although there is a lot of truth in the emerging movement blog of today, I still found one piece of criticism on the point that it says that people of today are very much interested in spirituality but not in religion. I there is at least a generational difference in this. Since I live among a lot of students in their early twenties and I find that they, maybe in contrast with older generations, have moved beyond spirituality and want to know about religion today here in the Netherlands. And not only religion, but very often are specifically interested in christianity, which they have come to value as at least interesting, valuable roots of our society. Where older Dutch generations were raised in a dominant christian society, their children were raised in a dechristianizing society which was dominantly allergic to christianity. A lot of todays young people are raised in a non-christian society, without much knowledge about christianity and without the allergy. But, very often nowadays, when they come aware of the christian roots of our society they become genuinly interested in what has driven so many people in christianity in past ages.
