Study: Christianity No Longer Looks Like Jesus

The Christian Post reports that young Americans today are more skeptical and resistant to Christianity than were people of the same age just a decade ago.

A new study released Monday from The Barna Group shows that negative perceptions toward the faith have outweighed the positive, as more younger Americans associate with a faith outside Christianity.

Only 16 percent of non-Christians aged 16 to 29 years old said they have a "good impression" of Christianity. Just 10 years ago, a vast majority of Americans outside the Christian faith - including young people - felt favorably toward Christianity's role in society.
