  The stats they’re using refer to the increase in women identifying as “unaffiliated” regardless of starting religion. However, the examples and stories they use refer to Christianity specifically.

  So the title is right, just the article as a whole is just weirdly focused on Christianity

    Well it’s still the dominant religion in the USA so it makes sense that it’s where people are fleeing from.

      Oh for sure, but you’d hope they’d try to make it a bit less conflicting with the more generic title. It totally makes sense why it’s Christianity focused

    True enough, but that's almost completely because they've leaving Christianity. Upon reading the title I thought religion as a whole was in decline in the US, which isn't very inaccurate but Christianity is clearly an outlier here.

  No, it’s very important that we pretend indigenous and racial minority religions don’t exist for uhhhhhhhh totally not white supremacist reasons

  People consider Catholicism, protestantism, and Mormonism as separate religions. But also that’s the vast majority of religion in the US, so.
