And it might just be worth it. Personally, I don't see a problem with people in general thinking for themselves. But that's just my opinion. From FoxNews (so it HAS to be true):
Study: 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Inspires Women to Leave Churches
More than 50,000 women a year have deserted their congregations over the past two decades because they feel church is not relevant to their lives, according to a British academic study — and shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" have played a role in the exodus.
The research, published in a new book called "Women and Religion in the West," says TV shows like "Buffy" offer women an appealing message of female empowerment while the old-fashioned attitudes and hierarchies of churches are causing a steep decline in the number of female worshippers.
"In short, women are abandoning the church," writes Kristin Aune, a sociologist at the University of Derby. "Because of its focus on female empowerment, young women are attracted by [the pagan religion] Wicca, popularized 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."
