[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 648211, member: 4152"] I did intake for about a year at a drug counseling place, most were court mandated. It was all ages. Teens, young adults and up. Perhaps because of various funding, the intake form was huge and many questions were asked. There was a big section involving spiritual and/or religious beliefs. I did MANY, many intakes. Only ONE teen or young person had some spiritual background. He had been to church a few times and believed in God. And the truth is, he was one of the better participants in group counseling, etc. He was cooperative, etc. (although, one never knows). And one adult was similar....spiritual and pleasant. By far the most, the noticeable majority, were atheists.The teens and young adults had zero beliefs or even interest or knowledge of the subject. For example, FEW even knew why Easter was celebrated. They had no interest in anything spiritual (not necessarily religion). The adults weren't much better, but some at least had some general knowledge of religion (s) or had some interest in things spiritual. It was VERY interesting. Honestly, it was,noticeable to me how,there seemed to be a disproportionate number of people there(especially the younger people) without any spiritual inner faith, community...even quiet pleasant thoughts or hopes to hold onto during difficult times.
