If they're abandoning the God of Abraham, hooray! I just wish that they were abandoning magic sky pixies altogether.

Isn't this a repeat?
Even so, it's pretty fucking stupid to blame a show for 'corrupting' women that was cancelled...what? Five years ago?

Oh noes! Women are abandoning our religion that tells them they are nothing but chattel and the property of men for a religion that empowers them! What are we gonna do???

So you're sorry that you got rid of the screaming, Spike-obsessed fangirls?
I'm sure the pagan's would gladly give them back to you.

WHOOHOO!! Go Buffy go!
Although, I thought it was Willow who was the wicca, so why aren't they blaming Alyson Hannigan?

@ Mister Spak: They like her on "How I Met Your Mother."
Seriously, if this is true, and all it took was a TV show to make them leave Christianity, well, that was a house of cards waiting for a light breeze anyway. This says more about their insecurities and flaws than anything else.

Buffy and Christianity have a lot in common, both being fantasy. Although Buffy is marginally more entertaining.

Lets blame a TV show for a movement that predates its first airing by only a few decades.

Allegory for Jesus
Wait...Buffy supposedly drew people to Wicca due to "female empowerment"? I think that that is more of a reflection on the religion they abandoned than the evils of Buffy the Vampire Slayer...

The Anglicans didn't comment because they aren't obsessed with worrying about this.

"Sarah Michelle Gellar's hit show Buffy the Vampire Slaye"
It wasn't her show, it was Josh Whedon's. Gellar just happened to be in it.

Sheesh, they'll blame everything but themselves. It's likely that this hyperbolic bullshit "study" is just fundie hand-wringing and a way of diverting people away from the real reason women are leaving the church - because religion stinks. These women probably got a clue and figured that they don't want to live under a doctrine that considers them nothing more than stupid broodmares and unpaid housekeepers.

Oh, but you see? Joss Whedon was a
man, so they can't blame him! Therefore, they have to take it out on the female star of the show.

The Church of England has declined to comment on the study.
You know you sound like a screwball when the institution you're defending won't even stand behind you.

"According to the recent British study published in Women and Religion in the West"
Tthe study was one conducted by the author of the book so can hardly be anything other than biased
