Recent findings indicate a growing tension between religious beliefs and mainstream culture in the United States, with nearly half of U.S. adults acknowledging at least "some" level of discord. This sentiment is coupled with a perception that religion's influence in public life is waning. Research from both Pew and the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) highlights a decline in American religiosity, noting that LGBTQ intolerance is a significant factor for many individuals moving away from religious traditions. The personal and political implications of this shift are explored in depth by Sarah McCammon, who documents her own transition from evangelical to ex-vangelical.
