At a “baptist” church across the street from me (they shucked the “Baptist” name several years ago for marketing reasons) they are having a youth event with the theme of “SNL” (Saturday Night Live.) I can only imagine what nonsense will be going on there.
What I'm seeing is witch hunts with Christians as witches, not invisibility.
Considering what vicious venom is being directed toward Harrison Butker for speaking CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE at a PRIVATE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, you may be right. If they could get away with it, they'd burn him at the stake.
The “What Would Jesus Do?” meme was wholly destructive and useful for the unbelieving pretenders. "What would Jesus do?" "Exactly what I'm doing!" It's a rubber stamp statement to justify behavior, and condemn others who don't approve of unbiblical behaviors. Remember, the American Idol runner-up and avowed homosexual Clay Aiken always wears a "WWJD" wrist band.
The truth is that not even His disciples knew what Jesus was going to do from one moment to the next. So how in the world can WE know?
I think the play-out of the end time scene will progress in an exponential acceleration pretty soon. What used to take 10 years to develop will now take 10 weeks, and soon, 10 days.
Too many Christians have bought into liberal and leftist lies.
One of the main ones being making Jesus into a feminized, sugar-coated, "loving" pushover, malleable to their bases desires. Even many Evangelical have bought into this characterization.
One of the common biblical depictions of Jesus is of a Lion. Another is of an unswayable Judge. He has a sword for a tongue.
They forget the actions of Jesus before he was glorified, beating people, turning over tables, name-calling when it was appropriate (often) and even condoning destruction ("shake the dust of your feet..."). Nope, not the popular "Jesus" taught in most churches.
I take all "polls" I read these days with a healthy grain of salt, but Barna seems to be a more intellectually honest pollster with statistically valid methods.
I tend to believe these trends, which are absolutely chilling if you are a biblical Christian. The number of pastors and other Christian leaders which have a worldly view of Christianity is horrific.

“cisgender male” ... stopped reading right there ...
I refuse to answer a form question on sex that has more than 2 possible selections. That question doesn't apply to me unless the selections are ONLY "male" and "female."
I first thought that the people who actually ate cicadas would just pick the adults off the trees and roast them. But then found out you have to get the bugs newly emerged from their shells, meaning you have to harvest them overnight when they are emerging.
