Less attendance doesn't mean less membership. People are congregating in other spaces besides expensive church buildings.

According to Pew Research, religious adherence is actually on the rise worldwide.

Modern Mongolia, perhaps. The Golden Horde of Genghis Khan was not so tolerant!

May I ask where you live?

I'm in a college town. State College, PA. Yes, it's affluent enough to make home ownership unattainable for most. Even amongst the non-students in the area, financially independent young women simply don't exist.

I own a yoga studio downtown and so I must admit that I talk to a fair amount of young women, albeit in a professional setting.

What's weird about my observation? Do you know many young women who are financially independent?

I've got young kids. Waking up early is the best time for me to be productive and enjoy solitude.

Also please don't look at it

Yes. We'll be ruled by a minority (Christian nationalists) because we think that downvoting on social media is sufficient participation in politics.
