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.
Priest spews transphobia on the pulpit fifteen minutes after being balls deep in his tween altar boy.
Pastor rants about the loss of family values weeks before its found out that he’s impregnated a fourteen year old girl that he got hooked on meth or something.
Both scenarios are made up but the fact that they are VERY plausible should make it clear why people aren’t feeling keen on organized religion.
