37. I don't actually care

Why should I, and why do you ask? Are you running for a head of state position somewhere? Does your church teach something completely contrary to respect for human beings and respect for human rights?

Does your church teach that people of colour are inferior, and deny them positions of authority? Yes, you should leave.

Ditto re women or GLBT people? Yes, you should leave.

Is it opposed to women having the legal ability to exercise reproductive choice? Yup, you should leave. Does it interfere with people's access to contraception or divorce or anything else they have a human right to access, by exerting improper influence on governments or international bodies? Yup, you should leave.

My ex church passes those tests. I don't know about yours. Maybe it doesn't, and you're working hard to fix it. Probably not worth the bother, if so, but best of luck.
