When it comes to faith, college students are almost evenly split on what they believe.

When it comes to faith, college students are almost evenly split on what they believe.

Just under a third classify themselves as true believers, and about the same amount say that while they’re not religious, per se, they are spiritual.

28 percent put themselves firmly in the secular category.

Those numbers come from a survey conducted in April and May by Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. 18 hundred students across the country participated in the online study.

The research also revealed that among the religious, the majority identified Christianity as being their belief system.

In addition to religious concerns, the participants were asked to voice their opinions on political and moral matters.

Secular students were more likely to support same-sex couple adoptions, back evolution over creation, and be accepting of assisted suicide.

Not surprisingly, true believers expressed opposite views on those matters.

Individuals taking the spiritual path ended up in the middle, agreeing with the religious on God-related issues, but gravitating towards secular views on politics and science.

One thing they all believed in was global warming. 96 percent of seculars and 80 percent of the religious said it was an issue that concerned them.
