1 in 8 Americans converted away from Christianity.
This was a survey done by a Christian research group. Its always possible they are trying to portray some sort of crisis, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
“According to the Christian research group, the most common reasons for leaving Christianity included life experiences, such as gaining new knowledge or education; feeling disillusioned with church and religion; feeling the church is hypocritical; having negative experiences in churches; being in disagreement with Christianity about specific issues such as homosexuality, abortion or birth control; feeling the church is too authoritarian; wanting to express their faith outside of church; and searching for a new faith or wanting to experience other religions.”
I think that sums it up pretty well actually.
