The article laying out research my Christian Smith seems to no longer be available on the net but there are a good number of articles written concerning the article.
In the early 2000’s he did research that looked at what teens and young adults of various religions and Christian denominations understood of truth, faith, God etc. The summation of what was found up was broken down conceptually to “Moralistic Therapeutic Diesm”. It’s with reading some sound articles that can be found since the research abstract isn’t accessible today.
Most of what passes as a representation of the Christian Faith on this forum reflect what his research revealed.
