McCammon's new book, The Exvangelicals: Loving, Living, and Leaving the White Evangelical Church, is a deep dive into the social movement of young people — including herself — who have grown disillusioned with the church.
"We know that white evangelicalism as a movement is on the decline," she says. "According to the Public Religion Research Institute, about 14% of the population is now a white evangelical. If you look at data from the early '90s, around that time when I was entering youth group, it was close to one in four Americans were white evangelicals. ... So we know that the numbers have dropped dramatically."
