Suddenly, it’s all become clear, the impetus behind this whole religious revival thing. On the one hand, we’ve got massive geopolitical turmoil and economic instability fostering a return to the safe haven of religion. And at the same time, millions upon millions of Baby Boomers–no longer the darlings of the anti-establishment–are growing old and gray, waxing nostalgic about going to church with their parents and worrying more and more about the afterlife. So basically, people everywhere are looking for “answers”–especially the generation that’s currently at the height of its power and influence.
Goddammit. Don’t that timing just beat all?
