People say they're leaving religion due to anti-LGBTQ teachings and sexual abuse - eviltoast

People in the U.S. are leaving and switching faith traditions in large numbers. The idea of “religious churning” is very common in America, according to a new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI).

It finds that around one-quarter (26%) of Americans now identify as religiously unaffiliated, a number that has risen over the last decade and is now the largest single religious group in the U.S. That’s similar to what other surveys and polls have also found, including Pew Research.

    They don’t have shame because “God” is a crutch for all sins when you can just beg for forgiveness from the supposedly all merciful.

    Furthermore, they can’t comprehend their worldview without the existence of the Christian God.

    Pair that with indoctrinations and now you got a cult!
