Episode notes
LGBT Americans Less Religiously Affiliated
- Pew finds LGBT Americans are far less likely to identify with scriptural religions than the general population.
- This aligns with the fact that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all prohibit same-sex activity, driving religious disaffiliation.
Perception: Religion Harms More Among LGBT Adults
- Nearly half of lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults say religion does more harm than good, a rate far above non-LGBT Americans.
- Mohler argues this reflects a broader rejection of Christianity's moral teaching, not merely disbelief.
Liberal Theology's Consequence On Religious Life
- Mohler links religious disaffiliation to the sexual revolution and the creation of LGBT identities.
- He asserts liberal theology's abandonment of scriptural authority both fails truthfully and produces institutional decline.
