Here’s another piece that well explains the importance of teaching a biblical worldview to our children. Today’s children are tomorrow’s voters.
Polls show that the Millennials and Gen Z both favor socialism over capitalism. This may be partially due to a misunderstanding of what socialism truly is.
But more importantly, young people have rejected a biblical, pro-liberty, pro-capitalist worldview because they spent 30 or more hours a week in a secular school. This time cannot be counteracted by a couple hours at church each week, if they go at all.
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. In America, the public schools with their anti-American curriculum, rule the minds of our children.

Interesting topic-I would actually like to have seen more about teens/young people and their worldviews.

Thanks for taking a look at my blog and leaving a comment, Monica. Expanding on the topic of what teens/young people really believe does need to be explored more in-depth. But here are a few posts that might help.
Last fall, I wrote a 5-part series called “How to Help Your Kids Confront Cultural Lies.” I strove to teach parents how to help their kids identify and avoid nonbiblical ideas that they will encounter in school and the greater culture. https://lorindasponderings.com/2019/09/06/how-to-help-your-kids-confront-cultural-lies-part-1/
On April 4, I published a review on a book called “Recipe for Disaster.” https://lorindasponderings.com/2020/04/04/book-review-a-recipe-for-disaster/. It tells of deconversion stories of young people and how their misconceptions of the gospel caused them to reject Christianity.
Another great resource is “Already Gone” (2009) by Ken Ham https://answersingenesis.org/store/product/already-gone-book/. It describes how children as young as third grade can mentally check out of church because Sunday school teaches “stories” and school teaches facts.
These books may not exactly answer your question. You probably need to check with a survey site such as Barna or Pew Research to see if a survey has been done on the worldviews of teens.
As I’ve been looking into what is being taught in schools (and manifesting itself on the streets), children are adopting the worldview of the curriculum controllers.
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) teaches them that families can be made up of all kinds of people, not just the traditional mom, dad, and child. The Genderbread Man teaches kids they can choose their sex and gender. Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) teaches them that abstinence is any activity that can’t lead to a pregnancy.
Sexual deviance is normalized and the lies of sexual promiscuity and transgenderism permanently damage the future of children (See my review on “Unprotected” https://lorindasponderings.com/2019/05/31/book-review-unprotected/. The info is over a decade old, but the ideas still apply today. The author, an MD, college counselor, and practicing Jew, shares how lies about sex harm young women.
In 1980, Howard Zinn published his Marxist version of American history, “A People’s History of the United States.” This text has been used in high school and college classrooms, and for the US AP course. This revisionist history, and the new “1619 Project” that sees US history through the lens of slavery and rejects anything good about America, has taught young people to hate America.
Distorted or neglected world history has led young people to embrace socialist ideas. In surveys, there is a strong line between GenX and the Millenials and GenZ on this topic. (The generation dates vary by source, but GenX is generally those born from 1965 to 1979; GenY or Millenials, 1980 to late 1990s; GenZ late 1990s to 2010.) I hope to explore how history is taught in the future.
I checked with Barna, and they with the new 360 Project (apologetics and evangelism) are working on a report on GenZ’s views. See https://www.whoisgenz.com/.
