As I said, it is heartwarming that many of them are conscious of their spiritual needs. It is all the more so because when the protests got underway, some youths bashed religion claiming that it has made people too stupid to stand up.

It's an oft-repeated fallacy.

It's a fallacy because it's untrue, like the fallacy that the older generation did nothing or didn't do much.

Such claims are products of the internet age where what people prefer to be true and spread by mass repetition is accepted as true without any fact-checking.

As I tweeted, it is a thing of joy to see that many of our young ones are aware of their spiritual needs. One reason.

Nowadays, young folks embrace whatever is popular among those they admire and the fad in many circles is to act sophisticated by playing down religion.
