Abstract	When researchers at the Public Religion Research Institute and Georgetown University set out earlier this year to sketch a portrait of college-age millennials, they expected to find a lot of diversity. What they did not anticipate was so much division. While the Millennial Generation--today's 18 to 29-year-olds--is often thought of as more diverse and more tolerant than previous generations, researchers found stark differences between the views of White millennials and African-American and Hispanic millennials, particularly around the vote. Indeed, the survey--which the institute conducted jointly with Georgetown's Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs--found stark differences in viewpoints along both racial and religious lines not only with respect to the 2012 presidential election, but when it comes to things that range from whether poor people have become overly reliant on government assistance programs to whether Whites are being subjected to reverse discrimination. When it comes to religious identity, however, it is becoming increasingly difficult to put this generation into one particular religious category, the survey found. That is because they are moving away from the religions in which they were raised at unprecedented rates, although this phenomenon is occurring mostly among White millennials, particularly in the Catholic faith, the survey found.
