I noticed that there are a lot of old people on this site and very few Millennials. There are also older people on facebook and twitter, but they tend to be religious and/or conservative. I was wondering why are the vast majority of atheists and skeptics here are a lot older than me when I expected them to be Millennials or even younger.

Sorry Krystal, to make you feel you've wandered into the "brain gymnastic for the elderly" or something. My daughters are too busy to spend time here. They'd be more your age. And a lot of young men are too busy playing computer games.

I'm 57. I'm not offended at being referred to as "old" so, I'll answer this as honestly as I can given that there isn't a definitive reason for it.

My generation is full of the IT guys that (25 years ago) were building the Internet and the tools that you use to access it. We're very active on social media everywhere.

And, as far as your observation that my generation on Facebook and Twitter tend to be religious and/or conservative, you're just mistaken. The vast majority of my friends on my social media accounts are like minded with me. Most of them are pretty liberal.

This place is still pretty new from what I understand. Given more time, I'm sure you will find many more of your kind on here. Have you invited any?

older people have time for more wisdom. it's not young men who send the old to war to die.

What? I'm in the 1980s to 1999 range (1994) So I'm 23 at the moment. There does seem to be a strange age jump in open atheism from lesser than >15 and greater than 30. Though I suspect most of my generation is non-religious. There is the possibility of never coming across the site or figuring they have enough friends already.
