You know what will lead to an even bigger exodus? Continue to push views and ideas that are out of tune with the majority of America while making a false claim to divinity. The American Christian Church continues to be a gigantic echo chamber. Go to most conservative Evangelical American churches and you will see a group of people that all look alike in an America that continues to diversify. An even more narrow group are the ones that buy into the hard line moralistic stances that the right wing evangelical christian church stands for...old white people. The ironic beauty is that these moralistic views stand in direct contrast to the man they supposedly follow.
Your post is what one might expect, but I was actually reading an article today (can't find the link now) about this decision by the PCUSA that had numbers indicating the churches going outwardly progressive are actually the ones becoming old and white...Episcopal, United Methodist, PCUSA. The more conservative evangelical churches (Anglican, PCA, etc) are those drawing young people and minorities, even those with more liberal political convictions who don't want to be "pandered to" by the church.
