Psychological Aspects of Young People’s Abandonment of Religion

Summary/Abstract: This article presents some psychological aspects of the move away from religion by young people in post modern society. The first thing I analyze is the need of religion, then religiosity as a factor that helps in upbringing, the practical aspects of religion, the basic psycho-spiritual needs of youth and the main attitudes and factors that lead them to turn away from religion. One of my explanations of the abandonment of religion by young people is my own conception of the so-called “filter”, which blocks and distorts human religious needs. I also introduce the term of the “inside key” and mention another of my own terms, “the need of anchoring (rooting)”, as well as defense spirituality and surrogate spirituality.
