From PNW:
Something has shifted in the soul of a generation. Nearly four out of ten young women today–38% of Gen Z–say they have no faith at all. They identify as atheist, agnostic, or simply “nothing in particular.” For the first time in modern history, young women are walking away from faith faster than men.
That statistic should shake us. For centuries, women have been the spiritual anchors of families and churches–the ones praying over children, organizing communities, and holding faith together when men walked away. Now, something in that moral fabric has frayed. A generation that once sang in youth groups now scrolls through endless feeds of influencers who preach self-love, not self-sacrifice; affirmation, not redemption.
