Why do faith groups provide special activities for young people?
The reason why many people would provide special activities for young people is so they can get an understanding of what the religion they are part of is for, such as getting to know why they joined that particular religion. Many faith groups do activities which include having discussions on how they interpret their religion from the perspective of young people.

Is it right to bring up a child in Sikhism?
Sure, there is nothing wrong with it. Sikhism is a monotheistic religion with the core beliefs being based on faith and justice. Rightness is a subjective term. Many people do not think it's right to indoctrinate young children with religion before they have the freedom to choose. It is as "right" as any religion that parents teach their children.

What is the difference between baptism and confirmation in the Christian faith?
Baptism is a sacrament in which a person is initiated into the Christian faith through water, symbolizing purification and rebirth. Confirmation is a ritual in which a baptized person publicly affirms their faith and receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Baptism is typically performed at a young age, while confirmation is usually done when the individual is older and able to make a personal commitment to their faith.
How does faith have an impact on young people regarding contraception?
The more general is that faith has little effect on the use of contraceptives by Christian people. For example, Catholics use contraceptives much as people of other denominations do, evidenced by the very low birth rates in strongly Catholic countries such as Spain and Italy. Indirectly, faith does have an impact on the use of contraceptives by young people in some countries, where adolescents are encouraged to pledge to remain virgins until marriage. Because the young people making those pledges believe, at the time, that they really will remain virgins, they make no effort to have contraceptives available at the time of their first intercourse. As a result, illegitimate births are somewhat higher for those young people who took a faith-based pledge of virginity.
What are the challenges that make it difficult for young people to develop religious faith in 21st century Australia and does religious faith have anything to offer them?
A:First of all, some young people in Australia have no difficulty in developing faith. These people remain life-long believers, or only lose their faith in later life.There are many reasons others fail to develop faith. An important one is education. Evidence shows that the more educated people become, the less likely they are to be religious. This is important in Australia, where the government has set goals for most students to matriculate and for a relatively high proportion of school-leavers to go on to tertiary education.An important issue is the current publicity about child sex abuse within religious organisations. It is hard for young people to develop religious faith when they see some religious leaders performing criminal acts on the vulnerable young, while other religious leaders, especially in the more senior ranks, cover up for them.A chronic shortage of clergy is a secondary reason for a lack of faith, since it is necessary to have 'salesmen' to market religion. This lack is being filled in part by clergy from overseas, but immigrant clergy are said to have difficulty in connecting at a personal level with Australians.As to whether religion has anything to offer young Australians, the evidence is mixed. Of course, those who form close relationships with their church would say "Yes," but in many cases these are people who would follow the religion of their parents no matter what. A small proportion pass through a stage of joining "happy-clappy" churches, such as Hillsong, but apparently many drift away after a time. For many, religion is either irrelevant or hypocritical.By and large, premarital sex, contraception, abortion and gay rights are no longer seen in Australia as issues where the views of churches are relevant. This means that when clergy talk about issues such as these, they will be politely ignored. Churches have to find new reasons for existence and new issues to engage with young Australians if they want to thrive.
Why baptism babys so young?
Baptising babies at a young age is important to the religion, and it's to do with religious beliefs. Not all people are baptised as babies, but the majority of people are. It's not necessary to be baptised at a young age, but is preferred in the religion. Many families believe that baptism will help keep the baby healthy and safe at a young age and reduce the risk of cot death :)
