People are leaving evangelical Christianity, young people most of all. That’s a fact. Some are leaving their evangelical churches, families, and friends. Some are leaving evangelical theology. Some are leaving the evangelical subculture. And some are leaving God, Jesus, the Bible, the Holy Spirit, the whole thing, Christianity, all of it.

What we are seeing is not just rebellion or normal ebb and flow. We are witnessing conscientious objection. Ex-evangelicals are leaving based on what they believe to be specific offenses against them personally, or against their family and friends, or entire oppressed populations.
