Salon unfortunately glossed over a really important detail: young people are, in fact, rushing to Evangelical Christianity, but it’s a very specific demographic: Gen Z men. Women, on the other hand, are leaving in droves.
This would be alarming, except as a female former Christian pointed out: good luck running church without the women. Who runs the food pantry? Who organizes the potlucks? Who answers phones? Who schedules the weddings? Who runs the nursery or Sunday school? Because on the whole, it ain’t the men.
If they want to call this a revival, I say let them, because it will be short-lived when the men say, “Hmm, yeah. Being an office manager isn’t really what God has gifted me in doing…”
They aren’t as many as the MSM wants you to believe. Although viewership in personalities like Tate & Fuentes has increased, many of them are just exploring the field realizing that they’ve been lied to by the establishment. Just because someone watches someone else, doesn’t mean that they endorse or support everything they say. If anything drives up their support, it is the pro-censorship crowd that says… “we must censor & control your minds, else they’ll control your minds.”
I mean, it’s not the entirety of Gen Z men, but they are the young demographic largely joining evangelicalism. The “big revival” is certainly an illusion, but cherry picking data to project an image is practically a rite of passage for evangelicals.
Tate and the rest are just mouthpieces facilitating that shift, but I imagine people won’t last long when they start to recognize that their dating pool is now limited to mostly men—and that everyone else doesn’t want to be anywhere near them.
