Abandoning Faith for Prosperity - Source of Happiness and Prosperity

Does prosperity bring happiness? Does education bring prosperity? That's the question addressed on this segment of Generations. South Korea is abandoning the Christian faith as the country grows more prosperous—and this is especially so among the younger generation. Evangelical churches saw a 20% drop off in church membership over the last 10 years. Church attendance with the largest denominations across the nation dropped from 17.8% to 13.6% between 2011 and 2021. The country may have the fastest-growing economy in the West, at the expense of abandoning the faith. Young people are more likely to attend school or after-school school than church on a Sunday. What is it that lends to long-term prosperity of a country? Education isn't the answer. Prosperity comes from God.
