God loves you and wants you to be happy.Be nice to other people and pray if you get into trouble.
That's what most teenagers are learning in church these days, says Kenda Creasy Dean, professor of youth, church and culture at Princeton Theological Seminary.
Instead of learning the Bible, young people are drawn to a cult of niceness, Dean said.
Being nice is OK, but it doesn't have much to do with Jesus, she said.
