The demons are going after the young. In particular, they’re going after young women. This is by design.
Females in the Generation Z age group face a crisis of belief unlike anything seen in prior generations. A Barna Research survey reveals that 38% of Gen Z women between the ages of 18 and 24 now identify as atheist, agnostic, or without any faith. This figure edges out the 32% of their male counterparts who report the same disconnection from spiritual roots.
Data from the survey, drawn from 2,000 respondents including teens and young adults, shows these women pulling away from core practices that build lasting convictions. Only 58% reported praying in the past week, compared to over 70% of teenage boys. Bible reading fares even worse, with just 31% engaging in the last seven days, and church attendance hits a low of 30%.
This drift ties directly to fractured bonds at home and beyond. Only 23% of these young women feel supported by their fathers, and a mere 36% by their mothers. Broader distrust runs deep: just 32% believe their parents understand them, and 33% sense value from older adults. As the report notes, 40% agree that “older people don’t seem to understand the pressure my generation is under.”
None of this is new in theory; what American didn’t grow up thinking at some point that their parents didn’t understand them? But this perceived disconnect has never created such a huge hole in people who have lost or never found faith. It’s easy for kids to think they know it all and for parents to wonder why their kids seem to know nothing, but in the past it seems to have worked itself out. This time, the theory of generational division seems to be taking hold in worldviews askew.
Daniel Copeland, Barna’s vice president of research, points to a clear path forward: “If we want to see change in Gen Z women’s spiritual trajectories, relationships are the place to start. Faith is a skill that must be modeled first, and strong, supportive relationships can bridge the gap between doubt and belief.”
Other surveys echo this alarming trend. The American Enterprise Institute’s 2023 data pegs 39% of Gen Z women as religiously unaffiliated, a number that has held steady into recent years. PRRI’s 2025 findings show weekly religious service attendance among women aged 18-29 dropping from 29% in 2016 to 19% in 2024, signaling a broader erosion. Gallup polls from early 2025 indicate only 45% of Gen Z overall identify as Christian, down from higher rates in millennials.
Behind these numbers lurks a deliberate push from institutions intent on reshaping society. Public schools, long captured by agendas that prioritize secularism and question traditional morals, feed young minds a steady diet of doubt. Social media platforms, run by unelected tech elites with their own global visions, algorithmically boost content that mocks faith while burying messages of truth and heritage.
It’s no coincidence that as family structures weaken under cultural pressures, vulnerability to these influences grows. Whispers of coordinated efforts to detach the next generation from eternal principles gain traction when patterns like this emerge so starkly.
In other words, the adversaries know the easiest path for them to take full control of this world is to detach as many Americans, particularly young ones, from the faith as possible.
Amid the decline, pockets of resistance persist. Some young people turn to online spaces for guidance, though these too often lead astray without grounded mentorship. Rebuilding starts with reclaiming the home as a fortress of values, where parents and elders model unyielding commitment. Without that, the void will only widen, leaving society adrift from the anchors that once ensured stability and purpose.
Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.

Pretty amazing how intolerant the religious zealots in America are. They’re not much better than the Islamists, and are heading in their direction step by step. As freeborn people with unalienable rights, we don’t have to believe in and follow your theocracy. Freedom OF religion means any religion, or no religions, that I want to, or not, partake in. But you zealots insist if I don’t believe in one of your hundreds of “Gods” you worship, that I’m a horrible person. You can go to church and I don’t make light of it as it is your right. It is time you started respecting others rights to not worship if they please. We are not heathens, devil worshippers, demons, etc. no matter how many time you say we are.
RD, the unalienable (or inalienable) rights you speak of are outlined in the U.S. Constitution, which by the way, was written and signed by our founding fathers, all of who were either an active Christian, Deist or a general believer in a Supreme Being (God). They knew these rights emanated from a higher power, not from any earthly government or person.
Do you like football, baseball or another sport? Are you a fan? Did you know “fan” is short for fanatic? Well, I choose to be a fanatic (Zealot?) of Jesus Christ as he willingly gave himself on the cross for all our sins. Raised by the power of God on the third day he lives forever and promises eternal life to all that put their faith and trust in him.
True Christians do not put down others and heap condemnation on them… we love on people and try to show them who Jesus really is. Unfortunately as you pointed out there’s a lot of bad apples in the barrel that give him a bad name. Don’t give up your search… there’s truth to be found in Christ… he’s as close as a prayer.
Once the cycle is completed and Christians are gone, you will find out what “intolerance “ is all about. The Muslims will force you to pray to the devil just like they do. And that’s just the beginning. It won’t just be words of criticism or pressure to participate. The Muslims will cut your head off if you don’t bow down to Allah the devil. Ya gotta serve somebody, as Bob Dillon once sang.
I don’t want them holding any position of authority. They are godless, mentally ill minions of Satan. They don’t even know it. They are heartless and the antithesis of what a woman is. None could have a decent relationship with a man or raise a viable family they are worthless. God forgive them!
The mothers and grandmothers of these reprehensible girls are even worse. They knew the truth and had Gods Word, but they chose feminism instead. Ask the average church woman of yesteryear if she believes that women should have the right to vote and hold public office instead of following the lead of her husband and she will tell you that you are a male chauvinist pig or a cave man that hates women. Today’s women have zero humility. They live only for themselves and their spirit is a spirit of anger and rebellion. No sweet spirit of submission and obedience exists in them. Very often, radical secular feminists have a more compliant spirit than most of today’s so called Christian women in our so-called churches. And yet they will boldly proclaim that they are not feminists.
