48% is a disturbingly low.

"Thou shat have no other gods before me!", I forget who said that. Was that trump?

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

I was a "Christian" and that was good enough until these Christofascists showed their true colors, somewhere between Westboro and Tiki Torch Nazis. Now I want nothing to do with any religion but especially not Christianity.

TIL at least 48% of Adults don't go to church.

THANK YOU. Sometimes the view from the Southern US down here has me thinking every dude is obsessed with JC and the Holy Ghost crew.

Still, tho, were I a Christian I'd go to church and denounce the shits for the frauds they are. "this shit ain't christlike!"

People are usually pretty receptive to positive feedback.

It's almost like he's antithetical to everything Christ ever preached or something.

Frankly I'm surprised more Christians don't reject him on that principle, but then, religion has never been based in logic.

Well lucky for them, Jesus never actually spoke negatively about slavery

What made me leave the church and ultimately Christianity was how they defended being pro-life.

Christians would have voted in Satan himself he would promise an end to abortion.

I've had countless Christians in 2016 say "Yeah, Trump is a bad guy but I know he'll end abortion."

They never realized that their desire for an end to abortion meant the election of the devil. And now they worship him at the alter of Trump and still call themselves Christians.

If young adults are anything like this older adult, they just don't want to have to hear positive things about Trump from anybody.

He's just such a transparently blatant villain and ignoramus.

The moment somebody says that they like Trump, I lose all respect for them. And I just feel sad that this is the state of humanity. I don't like feeling that way, so I avoid places where I might come into contact with people like that.

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago

The same "avoid people who have positive things to say about Trump" policy drove me right out of the country.

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 10 points 4 hours ago

So 52% of young adults did not come to that conclusion. Isn't that the real story here?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 hours ago

I don’t like how they phrase these stars. 52% are then “not less likely.”

Were some of them not likely to attend anyway? Or whatever “likelihood” they were considering attending (regardless of how high or low that likelihood is) were not affected by trump support.

So I’m not really sure how useful that info really is.

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 4 points 3 hours ago

It has made me less likely to attend church.

The likelihood was already hovering at around 0%, but this has taken it from .0002% to .00000001%

[-] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

More context:

The Billy Graham Center Research Institute surveyed 2,365 Gen Z adults, ages 18-28. The study was funded by the Lilly Endowment.

Missing entirely is what percentage of those people ever considered going to church in the first place. I think we all know why that data is missing lol

I’m not religious in any way, shape, or form, but if I got a loaded survey like this about a politician I didn’t like, I’d be counted in the people saying they’re less likely to attend church because of said politician.

Christianity = loving Trump

Not a great look

[-] honesthenery 3 points 4 hours ago

Welp it is just nonsense

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm not in the target demographic and I don't live in the US but i can confidently say that Trump didn't make me less likely to attend church. The probability was already 0% before he was ever a thing in politics.

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 hours ago

Like everything else Trump gets involved in, he's toxic for the brand.
