By 2016\, the figure had increased to 35%. We're losing our religion – fa st. What might we be losing along with it? And what's it like to be a youn g believer in an increasingly secular society?\nFor this conversation\, we 're bringing together three young people from different faiths to discuss the role religion plays in their lives. They'll discuss their earliest exp eriences of faith and describe how their beliefs guide their decisions\, t heir habits and their daily lives. They'll talk\, too\, about the ways med ia and political figures engage with religion\, from stereotypes to religi ous freedom laws.\nCan religious institutions change the way they talk to young people? How does religious faith enrich the lives of young Australia ns? How is faith tested or altered during adolescence and young adulthood? And how does faith intersect with questions of race\, gender and sexualit y?\nMore about the speakers:\n\nNevo ZisinNevo is a Jewish\, queer\, non-b inary writer\, activist and public speaker based in Naarm/Birraranga/Melbo urne.
