    Perhaps the women are tired of misogynistic religions telling them they’re inferior.

    Not a surprising statistic.

    Women seem to be sick of being treated as a “mom you can fuck”, and the younger generation’s men seem to be more right-wing.

      and the younger generation’s men seem to be more right-wing.

      Only in terms of the relative gender gap. Gen Z men are still less right-wing than Millennial men (who, in turn, are pretty liberal compared to prior generations)

          Im convinced we will have our own behavioral reckoning with microplastics eventually. These things don’t just do nothing. There will be a trend of changes it causes and that trend will be discovered sooner or later.

            They are gathering in our reproductive organs and reducing birth rates. That, and kids are being more responsible means we probably will have a population collapse at some point.

              Major demographic collapse is already happening around the world, it’s just that it happens in very, very slow motion. You can see examples of just how slow-motion by looking at Japan and South Korea, or China with the ripple effects of the one-child policy only now starting to be observed en masse. Same with many countries in Europe, like Italy and Greece. The US would be experiencing it in slow motion right now, but we make up for the difference through immigration.

            It would be pretty funny if microplastics had a positive effect on our bodies. It would be an interesting moral dilemma.

    Religion casts women as second class breeders and men as the dominant second to only god leader so it makes sense to me why men are more and women less relegious

    I wonder if this is related to the falling college enrollment for young men. I’m just speculating.

    Maybe it’s the orher way around, young women are (even) less religious than young men…

    We are in the midst of a huge generational shift right now. These trends especially among young adults will likely start changing one way or the other. I am going to guess that as some of these young men find female partners they will likely become less religious. I am thinking in a few years we will see this right twist of young men disappear with the gender gap shrinking towards a more leftist direction

      We need women to be confident and assertive in their personal lives to not have them go the other way and accept their male partner’s views. Here’s hoping! I think it’s possible.

        Part of the trend of ditching organized religion is moving past what you were taught to critically think. That is a step in that direction.

    The post-incel reactionary trad movement is just getting started. I just hope that there’s less men into it that it seems and they are just very noisy, because if not then we are about to get bitten on the ass like we have no idea. I do fear for future society.

    All religion is bad and should only exist privately. Get religion out of politics. It is cynically used to manipulate the electorate.

    I think this article misleadingly states what the stats show.

    Each American generation is less religious than the older generations, and Gen Z is no different. It’s just that Gen Z women are far less religious than previous generations, a bigger gap than the men. From the study that provides the underlying stats:

    What’s remarkable is how much larger the generational differences are among women than men. Gen Z men are only 11-points more religiously unaffiliated than Baby Boomer men, but the gap among women is almost two and a half times as large. Thirty-nine percent of Gen Z women are unaffiliated compared to only 14 percent of Baby Boomer women.

    In other words, Gen Z men are less religious than Boomer men. This basic conclusion doesn’t seem to come through in the original article, which almost suggests that young men are more religious than older generations.

      Or your gender is the one that benefits from religion more, and is slower to leave the safety of the shallow pool.

          I’ve always tried showing the people in my life of religious persuasion that atheism or secular humanism are not what the religious leaders and politicians attempt to paint them as.

          I don’t feel the need to advocate outright, push my beliefs, or bash others beliefs because we are going in the right direction, and religion only gets older and more porous. Fight for the free transfer of information and religion will have fewer and fewer shadows to hide in.

            Dunno.

            On one hand, yeah. We shouldn’t mock anyone.

            But I’m an imperfect being and YECs make it so hard to resist. “Dino fossil ages are fake to sow doubt so that we can have free will,” is just so hard to not make fun of.
