In fact, it should come as no surprise that enthusiasm for religious self-assertion is strongest among young, second-generation immigrants. Their parents, still influenced by life under the repressive autocracies from which they fled, tend to be submissive to the powers that be.
因此，年轻人和第二代移民最狂热地笃信宗教的现象就不足为奇了。他们的父辈，由于当初逃离独裁镇压，倾向于顺从现有政权，这种心理影响依然存在。年轻一代却选择反叛，因为他们接受并内化了自由思想和民主赋予的自由选择理念。总而言之，他们的反叛带有鲜明的英国或法国印记。
