Influence in Religion 

America is a land of many religions, and everyone practices them in different ways. Early in life everyone learns that freedom of religion is among the nations policy. It allows everyone with the choice of who/what to worship. Although many children at a young age are influenced by their parents and follow their path. The National Study of Youth and Religion  in 2002-2003, was the most detailed study done on teens and religions by Christian Smith. We live in a society where mother and father hover over their children in school, during sports, and even on social sites. Yet  why do so many parents take a hands-off approach to religion and spirituality?
