By Steve Kraske
Published June 2, 2015 at 3:12 PM CDT

The number of Americans who choose not to identify with an organized religion has grown to 19 million in the last seven years. One group turning away from religious affiliations are millennials. On this edition of Up to Date, we discuss America's changing relationship with organized religion.

Guests:

  • Pastor Chad Herring is the pastor of John Knox Kirk in Kansas City, a Presbyterian church.
  • Emma Green is the managing editor of TheAtlantic.com and wrote about the Pew survey's results.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
