Damnit … came here to say exactly this. I can assure you that anything posted as ‘public sentiment’ by axios is either hyper-biased or outright fiction.
Maybe they are referring to a pro queer stance. I would leave a church for that reason and search for a better one. I don’t go to church, I talk direct.
Same, some people just don't comprehend that. Something about it always felt more genuine to me than going to a building where many seem to be just going through the motions.
The church is the gathering of the people, not a building. God said, Heaven is My throne, and earth is the footstool for My feet. Where then is the house that you will build for Me, and where is the place of My rest?...But to this kind of man will I look... (Isa.66:1-2). His home is in man.
God is looking for a home where He can rest. But His home is not just in individuals, or He would have been satisfied with Jesus. He is looking for a corporate building. See Eph. 2:22. But this corporate building must be built upon the teaching of the apostles, especially Paul, whose task it was to complete the revelation of the mystery. Sadly, too few know what that is, even among the clergy.
About 30% said negative religious teachings about or treatment of LGBTQ+ people forced them to change.
Notice they did not expand on their questions to indicate which direction caused the movement. The PC bitches should have told the truth, and I'd be willing to bet that many of those in this category left their churches because the church went woke for the perverts.
I know of a couple, personally, where the woman a long time married woman with kids, had left her husband, and then later took up with her new 'man'. She is supposed to be a preacher. WTF? Who in the hell wants to attend a church where the preacher is a lesbian? I'd be willing to bet that congregation got smaller as soon as word got out.
Their survey also didn't extended any real information on the other woke reasons people left, and they didn't acknowledg those coming to God because of the current climate of the evil hell on earth showing themselves either.
Yes, but those people go from a woke crazy church to a normal church. They might have stopped attending but would still call themselves Christian.
These are people who stopped calling themselves Christian. It's actually helpful for the rest of us that the Uber leftist crazies are admitting their political beliefs leave no room for God.
They are equating not attending church with not being religious. Being religious and church are not exclusive. Many walk away from the corrupt churches but do not walk away from their belief in God.
The people are seeing the corruption in the churches especially those changing their views for what is seen among most as decadent sinful behavior. They've begin to see their churches are run by just more money grubbing POS.
This sounds like a targetted poll to me. Call me suspicious!
Slanted reporting of results to hide the truth of what is really going on.

If people leave because of anti-LBQT+++ stance, then they never belonged to begin with.

I agree with you 100%. I walked out of church because of the corruption I saw but did not turn my back on God. My faith is stronger now.
I trust that source a bit less than I do the meth addict in the grocery store parking lot saying he needs $5.00 because he ran out of gas.
If you can read, then you don't need church anyway. The spirit of God is within us all, written into our DNA, and our own body is God's temple.
This is in the Bible, hence the reading prerequisite.
If you profess God, there is no need for someone behind a pulpit to interpret and finger-wag what you already know.
