My generation’s desire for religion”“but not yet”“is indicative of the sort of relativism that Riley clearly disdains. The Anglican scholar C.S. Lewis once wrote, “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.” The same, I think, could plausibly said of all religions. They are more than lifestyles that we adopt, and they are deeper than our decisions to “settle down” and raise a family. It is precisely that notion of religion that my generation clearly fails to understand.
