Today’s college students are more preoccupied than ever. Between classes, exams, parties, Facebook, Twitter, career planning in accordance with the recession and the fascinating rituals of Zen Booze-ism, religion seems to have receded into the background.

Simultaneously, in the “real world," religion is losing ground. According to the Guardian, in Japan, although 75 percent of the population label themselves as “Buddhist," temples are often empty and transformed into tourist attractions, and monasteries are running low on cash. A Survey by Christian Research show that by 2050, Sunday church attendance in the UK will fall by over 90% to less than 88,000, compared to just under a million at the moment, reported the Guardian.
