few decades, the numbers of people who identify as Christian has dropped. But it appears that the slide is coming to an end, and numbers are stabilizing.
Part of that is because, as is repeatedly shown in polls, generation Z or the younger generation is far more conservative than their generation X peers. And far more religious. Indeed, the strong tendency is that when a person is politically conservative they are more religiously oriented.
Those two things very much go together. It is virtually never seen that a person becomes more religious the more Lefty they become. That’s a very rare bird. And the opposite is a very reliable rule of thumb: They strongly tend to lose any religion they once had as they adhere more and more solidly to Leftism.
It’s like root beer and vanilla ice cream. They just go together. You could make a Pepsi float, but that is not nearly as common as a root beer float. And a traditionally religious Leftist is like at Pepsi float-certainly possible, but not at all likely or common.
So why is that? Mainly it is because Leftism is their religion–it has supplanted whatever religion they once had. They have converted to Leftism, and no amount of logical reasoning will disabuse them of that. Because Leftism has become their new, primary religion, and they hold those beliefs with religious intensity. Delusional intensity, actually.
The answer is simple, as I’ve been telling you for decades. And the numbers now bear it out. You left the faith if you were a leftist. And not because conservatives were “mean” or “lacked winsomeness”, but because the belief system of the modern Democrat Party is anathema to the Christian faith.
… Why does Woke Socialism repel Christian belief? The answer is simple: the left’s worldview is completely incompatible with Christianity’s core tenets.
The two just cannot live together well. One ends up loving one and hating the other!
But let’s put that another way. Have you ever met anyone who converted to orthodox Christianity and, as a result, suddenly started advocating for Drag Queen Story Hour, or abortion-on-demand, or the abolition of the nuclear family, or the deconstruction of the faith?
