ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on an important milieu for Millennials who are more actively religious: digital communities. How are religious Millennials using the online world for their faith? To what extent is digital religion the sole domain of Millennials who are also more actively religious in person, or instead extends to other less traditionally religious young adults in the United States and Canada? This chapter also explores the implications of living among an increasingly secular generation and social world for the experiences of religious Millennials, giving religion both a more left-leaning and defensive flavor among this generation. Religious identities become an important, but not exclusive, source of identity differentiation in societies that now highly value and promote perceived individual difference and authenticity.
