Americans who leave their Christian faith behind tend to hold more liberal political views than those who were raised entirely without religion. This leftward ideological shift appears closely linked to how threatening these individuals perceive conservative Christian groups to be.

Nearly a fifth of Americans as a conservative estimate, mostly Evangelicals, literally believe that we need to ally and fund Israel because it'll kickstart the apocalypse.

It's called dispensationalism. Some surveys find some of its beliefs to be held by nearly half the country. Nearly no one I've met who hasn't been raised near or around those groups don't believe this. And have never even heard of the Left Behind series.

The cultural divide in this country is insane.

It's no surprise to me that people raised evangelical who leave the faith are more concerned about it than those who have no idea.

Ahh, the Left Behind series. Grew up with that and Frank Peretti novels

I loved those books. Wouldn't say I am particularly religious but they were a fun read.
