Droves of Gen Z Women are Fleeing the Church
Why are so many Gen Z women leaving the church?
In a surprising turn of events, more young women are now leaving the church than young men. While previous generations have a greater number of men who left the church, Gen Z is unique in that the female population are the ones leaving the pews.
The survey, conducted by The Survey Center on American Life, found that 65% of Gen Z females believed men and women are treated fairly by the church.

Tucker Carlson’s Shocking Interview With Palestinian Propaganda Pastor
Tucker Carlson’s interview with Munther Isaac, a Palestinian Lutheran pastor known for his critical stance on Israel, has garnered over 10 million views, 57,000 likes and 20,000 reposts. Despite his role as a pastor, Isaac seems more concerned with spreading his political views, notably his critique of Israeli policies, without condemning Hamas’ actions or calling for the release of hostages (that I have seen). On October 8th (the day after October 7!), he praised the “strength of the Palestinian man (meaning people) who defied his siege” and defined Hamas actions on October 7 as, “an embodiment of the injustice that has befallen us as Palestinians since the Nakba[1] until now.” In the nearly one-hour interview, there was no mention of Hamas’s attacks on Israel on October 7th or the hostages being held in Gaza or Iran, which has been sponsoring Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis in Yemen.
Carlson, fueling Antisemitism
Many are concerned that Carlson’s interview will contribute to anti-Semitic sentiments by framing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a manner that suggests a Jewish religious war supported by the United States against Christians and Ukraine’s struggle against Putin, as Jewish President Zelensky persecuting Ukrainian Christians. This absurd narrative has been refuted by figures such as former VP Mike Pence (who spoke with Christian leaders in Ukraine). The U.S.-based Orthodox Public Affairs Committee has condemned Carlson’s portrayal. Believers I talk to in Ukraine (I lived there) speak of the church as flourishing as they support their country. Tucker Carlson is either misinformed or intentionally misleading.[2]
They spoke of the decline of the Christian population in Bethlehem, blaming it on Israeli policies while ignoring the impact of the PLO. The Times of Israel reports that Bethlehem was “86% Christian in 1950. But by 2016, the Christian population dropped to just 12%.” If you want to know why Christians are fleeing, just look to Gaza. The same article states, “In 2006, a year before … Hamas seized power … there were 5,000 Christians living in the strip.” Now there are between 800-900.
