To be a Christian in America today is undeniably low-status, and all the more so if one ascribes to any form of orthodox theology. High status jobs, meanwhile, are cordoned off by advanced degrees, and therefore inaccessible to men who do not graduate college. […] Young women leaving church might be doing so due to a staunch commitment to egalitarianism, but more likely they are leaving because of a more general sense that church is not cool.

    Christians are low status and the opposite of that is… education? Women are treated like shit by religion and conservatives who do not commit to egalitarianism, but the real reason they’re leaving is because it’s not cool (and conservatives can’t figure out why it’s not cool)? Weird self burns, but can’t really disagree.
