ABSTRACT

This chapter explains about the Bible and digital millennials principally considers three areas: stance, use and social media. It considers how young adults described their feelings, attitudes, beliefs and views about the Bible. Digital millennials felt most positive towards the Bible, followed by the Tripitaka. The slight exception is the Bible and Christianity, towards which a similar number of people feel positive as have neutral feelings. When exploring the words or phrases people associated with the Bible by religious identity those with no religion and from a religion other than Christianity were most likely to indicate that they did not associate any of the words listed with the Bible. “It was clear that there was very little interest in issues of Christianity, the Bible, or religion, or at least very little interest in mentioning anything publicly”. Digital millennials were more positive about the Bible than they were about other sacred texts.
