"Majorities of young people in America describe modern-day Christianity as judgmental, hypocritical and anti-gay. What's more, many Christians don't even want to call themselves "Christian" because of the baggage that accompanies the label.

A new book based on research by the California-based research firm The Barna Group found that church attitudes about people in general and gays in particular are driving a negative image of the Christian faith among people ages 16-29."
Judgemental - Hypocritical - Anti-Gay

Oh, yeah, I forgot that Brittany's latest shenanigan and who in Hollywood is ****ing who is soooo much more important and sooooo much more interesting than how the country's youth perceives the country's dominant religion.

This is fascinating.

The vast majority of non-Christians — 91% — said Christianity had an anti-gay image, followed by 87% who said it was judgmental and 85% who said it was hypocritical.

Such views were held by smaller percentages of the active churchgoers, but the faith still did not fare well: 80% agreed with the anti-gay label, 52% said Christianity is judgmental, and 47% declared it hypocritical.


The bolded percentages are the views of active churchgoers. Those are some pretty significant numbers.
