TL;DR

NPR correspondent Sarah McCammon reflects on her evangelical upbringing and decision to leave it behind, citing the 2016 embrace of Donald Trump by white evangelicals as a turning point. Her book, The Exvangelicals, explores the growing movement of younger Americans leaving evangelical churches, drawing from her own experiences and those of others. McCammon hopes the book will resonate with exvangelicals, provide insight for those unfamiliar with evangelicalism, and encourage empathy and understanding from those still entrenched in the movement.
