Atheist Teens Lead The Way

I found an interesting article by Justin Trottier of the of the Centre for Inquiry Canada.  It is about a book called The Emerging Millennials by Reginald Bibby that discusses that age old question of “Can we be good without God”.  One of the things Bibby discovers is that while Canadian teenagers become less religious, they become more mature when it comes to sex, drugs and other behaviors.
