I'm an Atheist but I was brought up in a Christian culture and I appreciate its emphasis on community, family and tradition. I think a lot of people need that in their lives.

But I think this argument is wrong. It's not a lack of religion that's to blame for gender ideology; it's a lack of critical thinking skills. Our public education system has seriously devolved. Kids are no longer being taught how to think, they're being taught what to think. And the people teaching them what to think are cultural Marxists.

The problem isn't just education. Modern culture is dysgenic. See Idiocracy for the core problem.

Christian culture isn't the same anymore. It's still on "community, family and tradition", but it's now all reactionary identity politics, and suddenly they want to go back to monarchy and 1950s gender roles and all kinds of mistakes of the past after being the ones who defeated them in the first place. They secretly hate Jesus and think he's a poor example to follow because he's "weak" and doesn't allow them to persecute their enemies, which seems to be their sole reason for existing at the moment. Many of their new values blatantly contradict their own book, such as saying not being in a hyper-traditional marriage with children by the age of 20 is sinful, when this is in fact praised multiple times in the Bible, and they don't care.

This is only a very recent development, I'd say no earlier than a few years ago, sparing the fringes which have always existed. Prior to that this was the stereotype, but it was false until now.
