And we should at least reconsider the role of religion, whether it be cultural Christianity seems to be on the march right now, maybe not devout, you know, attending Christianity, but the value of religion in a functioning society.

In most countries where we can get data, women are more religious than men.

Now, not dramatically so, but this is something we sort of know in social sciences, that women are more religious than men.

It's mostly a Christian thing, that women are more religious than men.

What's funny is we don't know why.

Like there's all these interesting theories about biological theories.

There's anthropological theories like women needed someone to help them take care of the kids and church provided this kind of social safety net for them.

We don't really know why.

We just know that women are more religious than men.

But what we're seeing, interestingly enough, among Gen Z is that women are still leaving the church at an incredibly rapid rate.

And men are still leaving, but at a slower rate.

And what that ends up being is the religiosity of Gen Z men and women is probably about the same now.

It's not that men are returning to church.

This is a really important point.

The data does not say.

Some men are.

Some men are.

But in the aggregate.

In the aggregate.

We're not seeing Gen Z men become more religious.
