JFC. Nearly a third of people who have left their church have done so because of scandals involving clergy or other religious leaders.
That’s not incidental, that’s endemic.

🧵 The Pew Research Center has some fascinating details on religious switching. Only 56% of American adults are in the system they were raised in.
Very important info on switching from various groups, too.
Why do people say they leave? The biggest reason is that they stopped believing the claims.

Ageism being popular and fashionable among queers sucks. Queer kids and elders deserve community and respect. But it's so easy and so hip to call all those old people bigoted boomers and all those kids annoying brainrotted puritans, leaving all the people who aren't like that out in the cold.

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.

AAP Opposes New HHS Rules Restricting Access to Care for Families
