I do not mean to sound disrespectful in any way. The reaso I am asking this question is because of the things I observe in my everyday life, and being a riligious young person in South Africa. Is religion still relevant in today's lifestyle as it was about thirty years ago and will it still be relevant in the coming thirty years? The reason I ask this question is because I see less youth in churches today and the majority of people who go to churches are old people. Is it because of the development of technology in our society or is it that the youth does not see the importance that a religion plays in our society? Does this contribute to the behaviour of our youth in South Africa? Does religion play a part in an areas crime rate or moral behaviour? If the moral behaviour of the youth of today bad compared to that of thirty years ago, what about the coming thirty years? Does this mean as technology advances and people become more urbanised or rather "modernised" in our now civilesed manner of living losing some or most of the important ways in which mould a persons character or calibre? Its even bad when I consider the practice of cultural activities. Does it mean is the youth drifts further away from the roots of their ancestors also lose themselves in the advancement of technology?
