Gee, I wonder what might have been going on in religion lately that would drive women away from it…
They aren’t actually, they just see it as part of the conservative virtue grind. The only genz people I know who go to church openly admit they don’t really believe it, but that it’s some kind of protest against “decline of the community” or whatever. These people are so lost, they’re holding up religion as counterculture.
yeah and they have that attitude about the marrying kind. which eventually they find and then cheat on.
It makes sense and it’s probably healthier (though not in every case) than getting sucked in by manosphere exploitation.
Religion may increasingly function as a source of belonging, meaning and community, particularly for young men. In a world characterised by economic insecurity, social isolation and uncertainty about traditional masculine roles, religion can offer purpose, structure and a sense of place.
I think the problem is that religion (traditionalism more broadly) is one of the main facets of the current manosphere. Very likely it is nearly a circle, the venn diagram of self-identified religious dudes and manosphere.
Manosphere and religion have considerable overlap.
Yup, true.
We can and should get all of those benefits without the magical thinking. I wish people would stop tolerating literal death cults.
You don’t need to engage with the “magical thinking” bit. That’s a misconception people have based on their own negative, or lack of, experience with organised religion. Some groups are very laid back and open, and don’t care at all whether you have theist beliefs. If you’re there to participate in good faith and with respect then they will welcome you no matter what.
“Some groups are very laid back and open, and don’t care at all whether you have theist beliefs”
Yes, some people are fatally stupid. We should correct that as soon as possible, all lives are at stake.
STOP DEFENDING DEATH CULTS. No one needs superstition. The placebo effect can be gained from reality. The “good ones” are still normalizing casual lying for everybody. Please grow up, your selfish stupidity is killing people.
In your blind rage you seem to have missed the bit where I said you don’t need to have theist beliefs to participate or benefit. The world doesn’t revolve around you and your negative experience.
The abrahamic faiths are literal death cults and any person who tolerates them is commiting murder-suicide.
Let’s all put our fucking brains in, thanks.

The problem is some young men probably aren’t getting those benefits and so… religious-like influences (rs). The article does say that young men are not necessarily going back to traditional religions.
