I agree with the OP's theory. I've noticed things of this nature in the media. People do tend to hold celebs at a higher regard then they're own religious beliefs, and from what i guess, it comes from the disconnect of not having a strong upbringing in a religious setting and spending a majority of time in front of the television. Im not gonna sit and act like i grew up in the church either but i dont have the wool over my eyes. Sadly i feel that our generation and the generation coming up are growing up in a society that revolves around media and entertainment, which intern glorifies celebrities and materialism. Its just a sign of the times unfortunately.
I definetly think that there is a rise is athiesm and I feel that it is becoming te new "cool". Most cases of someone being/becoming athiest comes from a major devestaing event in ones life and one claims to have lost faith in God from that point forward. To me its just a lack of the mental strength of that person that leads them to believe that God has abandoned them and they act of by no longer believing. Thats definitely not the case for everyone, but its what i mainly see. My only reply/advice to that is to dig deeper into religion and your own personal faith. I dont necessarily think that you have to believe what I believe, but i think its asinine to not believe in any higher power.
