Last month, Dr. Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries appeared on CBN's "Faith vs. Culture," where he asserted the United States is facing a significant "problem," much of which, he said, centers on Christians "not understanding their citizenship responsibilities."

A new analysis from Dr. George Barna's Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University found only about half of all "people of faith" (51%) plan to vote in this year's presidential contest.

As for respondents' reasons for not participating, 68% said they lack interest in politics and elections, 57% said they dislike both major candidates, 55% said they don't believe either candidate reflects their most important values, and 52% said they don't believe their vote will make a difference in the outcome.

Myers and his organization work predominantly with younger people, many of whom are eligible this year to vote in their first presidential election.

Younger Christians, he said, are turned off by "conflict," which is, of course, a barrier to entry in the era of former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

"When they hear the political banter going back and forth between the political parties, it discourages rather than encourages them," explained Myers. "One of the key points I make to them is, if you think that involvement in politics is a battle between liberals and conservatives, then you're misunderstanding what the political process is all about."...
