The October 2012 Millennial Values Survey reveals the generation is divided on religion. Millennials are nearly evenly split on whether it is important for a presidential candidate to have strong religious beliefs. While they are less likely to be religiously affiliated than previous generations, less than half say they would be comfortable with a Mormon, atheist, or Muslim president. In this video, Aamir Hussain, junior at Georgetown University; Zachary Yentzer, senior at Arizona State University; Abigail Clauhs, junior at Boston University; and Hira Baig, sophomore at Rice University, discuss Millennials' perceptions of religion and interfaith collaboration and the need for dialog and understanding, especially within the upcoming generation.
