One of the main reasons young people are leaving the faith is because they are growing up in a legalistic faith. They approached their faith as a list of do’s and don’ts. Their relationship with God was a checklist, a duty.

The rules aren’t about pleasing God. God’s rules are given as a way to approach us.
