That’s a fairly simple answer. Christianity is a very patriarchal religion with a primarily male trinity god (the father, the son, the holy ghost is potentially genderless but is still referred to as “he” in general) and there’s also the fact that christian ideals and christian politics helped fuel the fire that caused the conservative-majority supreme court to overturn the ruling on Roe v. Wade, which is a huge blow to women’s rights in general. Of course women who want agency over their lives are going to stop supporting institutions that try to take it away.

Perhaps it's because it promotes the concept of women being second class citizens. Or perhaps woman are tired of religious fanatics banning abortions. Or perhaps they don't want to stay virgins until they marry their wife beating husbands.

Because people see it for the misogynistic scam that it is!! It's hypocrisy and lies and corruption and pedos and inserts itself into govt and doesn't pay taxes!!! This is the end result of people growing up and putting their paleolithic toys away. The divine is in each of us and all of us. That's the miracle!!

[Drewtate]

The Catholic Church is having a resurgence

[DrPepper12]

Then so is pedophilia. They are directly correlated.

[Drewtate]

@DrPepper12 if you want to find pedophiles look in the us educational system.

[OddBeMe]

Or the Catholic church

[Drewtate]

@OddBeMe or Disney & nickelodeon

[OddBeMe]

And that makes religion better?

[Drewtate]

@OddBeMe does it make it better if it's the lgbtq or atheists?

[OddBeMe]

Checking…. very very few atheists in prison. So we’re good there. And very few lgbtq are kiddie rapists.

[Drewtate]

@OddBeMe you sure about that. Just Because someone identifies as Christian doesn't mean they believe in God.

[OddBeMe]

Oh “no real Scotsman” fallacy. You think you are big dick who can figure out who is the real Christian?

Doesn’t really matter. Organizations without regulations (religions) commit the most heinous crimes.

[Drewtate]

@OddBeMe there are like a billion atheists in China, north Korea and Vietnam. Do you have statistics for that. Even putin is an atheist.

[OddBeMe]

Actually no. Funny, when a country’s govt is atheist the populace is usually very very religious. And like Europe which has religion built into their countries, they’re all atheists.

[Drewtate]

@OddBeMe no so in the Soviet Union of red China. Atheism is the order of the day.

[DrPepper12]

You're completely wrong about Russia and China. In Russia the Eastern Orthodox and the Russian Orthodox Church have had a revival since the fall of communism! Muslims in Central Asia part of Russia have also experienced the revival. As for China, there's a reason that the Uighurs are put into re-education camps and the flourishing of Christianity especially evangelical Christianity in China is off the charts. Russia and China are definitely not atheist countries

[Drewtate]

@DrPepper12 they've had a revial but 70 years of atheism is there.
Christianity in China is small fries, mostly atheist.
Central Asia is actually no longer part of Russia, they are independent states. Central Asia though is of great intrest to Russia to the north, China to the east, Iran to the west and Afghanistan to the south because they are rich in natural resources and underdeveloped countries so difficult to get those resources out and Russia looks to control their oil/gas industry to insure their own oil/gas prices. Ideally the us would have gotten in through Afghanistan but the possibility of a broken Russia might be the way in. Azerbaijan might be their way linking the us to Central Asia via the camping sea then Azerbaijan then Georgia or Armenia to Turkey or the black sea.

[OddBeMe]

@drewtate the United States is a secular country. Are we atheist?

[DrPepper12]

Ty for disabusing me of first opinions. You are remarkably well informed and sober. Kudos and I look forward to more intellectual sparring!

[Drewtate]

@OddBeMe has or is religion banned here in the us? In fact the us has invented many religions rather recently.

[OddBeMe]

are they banned in china and Russia? No

[Drewtate]

@OddBeMe currently no. But a time hundreds of millions were brought up in an environment where there was no religion except socialism.
China is currently putting Muslims into prison.
Things are actually getting pretty bad for Christians in China, last year for the first time, millions of Chinese children were forced to sign a form – these are Christian children – to renounce their faith in public, every church has been forced to install 4 facial recognition cameras in each corner to monitor to congregation so that no state employee, under 18 year old, police officer, military personel etc enters because these people are banned from doing so by the state. All crosses inside and outside have to remove and destroy all crosses any pastor who doesn't gets jailed.

[OddBeMe]

It’s been nearly 100 years since mao took over. And it’s still majority Buddhist and Hindu.

[Drewtate]

@OddBeMe Just 4% of Chinese adults – or 42 million people – formally identify as Buddhist and only 10% identify with any religion. Mao took over in 1949-50 not long b4 China’s invasion of Korea in the Korean war.

[DrPepper12]

@drewtate. So now China's self reported stats are true? LMFAO 😂😂😂

[Drewtate]

@DrPepper12 the only religion in China that's allowed is socialism and the Chinese communist party.

[OddBeMe]

Your black ass should really google before you type.

“The Chinese government officially recognizes five zongjiao: Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism and Taoism.”

[Drewtate]

@OddBeMe tell that to the Christians and buddists being persecuted. Maybe ask the dali lama about it

[OddBeMe]

Didn’t say China was Democratic dummy.

[Redstang88]

The developed world in general is starting to see through the bs that is organized religion. I can’t think of anyone under 50 that goes to church

[strateguy632]

If you went you would see plenty of women aged 20 to 30. Like here in new york.

[Redstang88]

And why would I do that?

[strateguy632]

Such bs. In the article. Just false propaganda wishful thinking by bible phobic people.

[Lliam]

Maybe they are abandoning the patriarchal the values espoused by ancient mythology.

[Agape93]

Probably because they're tired of being controlled and shamed.

[FunkyMonkee]

Maybe they've come to their senses and finally realize it's all man-made bullshit intent on controlling the masses.

[Anonymous]

Just because people stop attending church, doesn't mean they are necessarily "abandoning religion". There are many other ways to hear and learn the Word of God. I personally don't attend an actual church building.

[Avicenna]

I don't know, TBH

[OddBeMe]

Well.. religion isn’t nice to women. Agreed?
