My Kickstarter project funds a survey that will teach us about Mormon Millennials (ages 18-35) -- and especially how they differ from three older generations in religious beliefs and habits, politics, family size, education, and more.

My interest in this project started several years ago when I began blogging -- first for Beliefnet, then for Religion News Service, where I am now a senior columnist. The way young adult Mormons embraced digital media -- and the way this mode of communication reflected other, deeper, changes visible within their generation -- prompted me to begin asking questions. How do Mormon Millennials differ from their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents in the LDS Church? And on the other hand, how do they differ from people their own age who are not Mormon?

This sounds so interesting.  I may contribute.  It would answer a lot of questions about the affects of young people in the internet age and how they see the world through the lense of the gospel compared to their grandparents.  Thanks Rockpond.
