Does Religion Need a Glow-Up?

The death of Pope Francis last Monday has prompted believers, agnostics and atheists alike to reflect on the role of religion in daily life. Religiosity in the Western world has been waning for years, particularly among young people. About half of Americans born since the 1980s say they seldom or never attend religious services. Yet, 83 percent report believing in God or a universal spirit. What explains this disconnect between personal belief and organized religion? On the latest episode of “Impromptu,” columnists Drew Goins, Molly Roberts and Shadi Hamid discuss their different religious upbringings and what, if anything, faith can do for us in the 21st century.
