“Gen Z has rejected the way religion has sought to shape their forms of gender and sexual identity and expression,” said Matthew Hedstrom, an associate professor at UVA who studies religion in the 19th and 20th centuries. “If the religion of my parents tells me there is a certain ‘right’ way to be a woman, or to be a sexual person, and I reject that one ‘right’ way, then I might very well also reject the religion that promoted it, and seek alternative religious, spiritual, or secular ways of being and belonging.”
