@ProPublica It's not at all surprising that people, especially young people, are leaving the "Christian" church in droves.The rampant misogyny, racism, and other forms of bigotry that are taught as "Christian doctrine" combined with the criminal hypocrisy of church "leaders". None of this has anything to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ.That's why I left the church over 30+ years ago, and it sounds like nothing has changed. If anything, it's gotten worse.
