Are You unChristian?

Erik Guzman October 19th, 2007

unChristians are hypocritical, right-wing, judgmental, sheltered, proselytizing, gay bashers… and boring too. Does that describe you? Then you might be unChristian.

Join us as we talk with the founder of Fermi Project, Gabe Lyons, about his new book unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity…and Why it Matters.

From the book…

"The nation's population is increasingly resistant to Christianity…the aversion and hostility are, for the first time, crystallizing in the attitudes of millions of young Americans. A huge chunk of a new generation has concluded they want nothing to do with us. As Christians, we are widely distrusted by a skeptical generation. We are at a turning point for Christianity in America. If we do not wake up to these realities and respond in appropriate, godly ways, we risk being increasingly marginalized and losing further credibility with millions of people."

unChristian contains new research into the perceptions of 16 to 29-year-old non-Christians and reveals that Christians have taken several giant steps backward in one of their most important assignments. Christians are supposed to represent Christ to the world. But according to the latest report card, something has gone terribly wrong. Using descriptions like "hypocritical," "insensitive," and "judgmental," young Americans share an impression of Christians that's nothing short of…unChristian.
