Buffy the Vampire Slayer Leads Women Out of Church

Chris Ortiz / Chalcedon Blog:
In the past two decades, nearly 50,000 women have deserted churches in the U.K. "because they feel the church is not relevant to their lives." So claims a female sociologist at the University of Derby: "In short, women are abandoning the church. Because of its focus on female empowerment, young women are attracted by Wicca, popularised by the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Young women tend to express egalitarian values and dislike the traditionalism and hierarchies they imagine are integral to the church."
