Beliefs and Spirituality

Hello,  I  am Gary Averill, a seminary student at Spiritual Life Seminary.  I am working on my research project. Could you please fill this out this short (less than 5 minutes) survey.  There is not a lot of information about how Americans and others especially those born after 1980 feel about their spirituality.  So this survey is an attempt to look at this issue.  The results will be used for my thesis paper and possibly for a journal article.  This is an area of great interest since religious views are changing.  As you can see no names are asked for  this is not to look at the individual but more the group. To increase the number of participants, an incentive has been added for those interested.  This incentive is a 30 dollar Amazon gift card raffle.  The email winning e mail address will be drawn on March 31st, 2016.  If you do the survey and want to participate in the raffle email me at faithsurvey62@outlook.com to tell me you took the survey or enter your e mail address on Question 13.  Only the winning e mail address will be notified so as to send them the gift certificate.   All participants will still remain anonymous.  The e mail address is for no other purpose than the raffle.
