Not so. It's only the managing hierarchy who actively attacked and overthrew the doctrine. The UMC had been fighting against this coordinated attack for many years. But now the lines are drawn, and most of the faithful will abandon it.
Do you know from personal experience? From my experience the majority of the laity was solidly opposed, and that's been written about in many articles from both inside and outside of the church. Of course that's different in Hollywood and other select locations.
