The current political and social climate and the decline of religious Millennials are some of the reasons why astrology, spirituality, and Meditation have become popular in recent years. Astrology and spirituality functions as a sort of self-care; a way in which people try to understand themselves and define their unique traits. -People are more interested in astrological, Yoga and Cosmic consciousness services that help them to know them better rather than being fanatically religious.
Currently, gradually more millennials are redefining the definition of religion, for them, spirituality is the way to live rather than daily prayers at Church and Temples. According to the PEW research, The Youth are less religious than their predecessors. With the increased age men and women become more religious than the younger generation. The research also reveals men are less religious than women and undeveloped countries are more religious than the developed countries for this very reason Asian countries have more faith in God than the European countries.
The above trait has been found among the highly educated, urban and rich population based on the Pew research foundations 2018 report. According to the report China, Europe, and other western countries found to have lesser religious bent than the Asian countries where people are less educated and rich.
