Progressives (including progressive Christians) pathologized Christianity as a sexist, oppresive, racist, white supremacist, bigoted religion.
Now Islam (which is far more patriarchal and anti-lgbt than Chrstianity) is the religion they turn to.
Here's what happened....

The left claimed Christian sexual ethics (get married, have kids, sex is for marriage and children, homosexuality is a sin, etc) and the emphasis on the importance of the nuclear family were all just masks racism, power, bigotry, white supremacy and so fourth.

When conservatives told people it was good to get married and have kids, progressive Christians taunted them and call the emphasis on marriage and family a "fertility cult."
Any attempt to derive a blueprint for family structure, or rules for relationships was attacked....

Any attempt to attach any *objective* meaning to sex, or to establish any hierarchy within the family was pathologized.
Any attempt to attach duties or obligations in relationships or family, or to establish ANY *gender roles* was attacked, subverted, and pathologized.

People coasted on pre-established social norms until Gen-z showed up and all those norms were gone.
Now Gen-z is look for answers to:
-what shohld I do?
-how do I order my romantic life?
-what is the purpose of sex?
-how do I structure a family?
And Christian answers are....

All pathologized into oblivion.
If you are a Christian and say "you ought to marry, you ought to have kids, men ought to lead families, women ought to take care of the home" you are attacked as an evil, bigoted, white supremacist, power hungry, oppresive person.
However....

Because progressives follow the rule "never punch down," and because progressives see mulisms as oppressed, when a muslims says "you ought to marry, you ought to have kids, men ought to lead families, women ought to take care of the home" the progressives leave them alone.

So, if you're a woman who wants a man to lead, or if you'rea man who wants a woman to look after the home, you can't turn to Christianity without being subject to a torrent of abusive cynicism.
You CAN however, become a muslim and not have to worry about being mobbed leftists

If you try to defend traditional family as a Christian you'l get called a bigoted, sexist, racist, white supremacist, power hungry, oppresor.
If you put on a hijab and say men should lead and homosexuality is a sin, the feminists and deconstructive Christians won't say a word

If you are a reformed baptist and try to say sex has a purpose within heterosexual marriage and gender roles are good you'll get sarcstically mobbed by the Jesus and John Wayne crowd.
If you recite the Qu'ran and then say that exavt same thing, the left will be kind to you.

The result is that when people look for *objective* meaning in sex (something beyond feelings) that doesn't reduce to "do what you want as long as it's consentual," Christianity is not an option because latriarchy, white supremacy, etc,
You know what is an option?
ISLAM

Some Christians will likely try to get out of this problem by saying "the black church idea of men leading isn't like the evil white churches doctrine of men leading."
Of course, this won't work becausr the black church and the white church have similar docterines here...

Progressives read the black church more charitably because they see blacks as oppressed and are thus are reluctant to criticize them.
In any case (as Beth Alison Barr's exchange with Anthony Bradly showed) no quarter will be given to male leadership is Christianity...

And for this reason the door is WIDE open for islam.
Want to expound ideas about traditional family while not getting dogpiled by progressives and told you're a cynical, evil, power hungry, racist, oppresor? Become a Muslim.
I am not joking.

You can become a muslim, have a traditional family, believe in traditional marriage norms without having leftists dogpile you about it.
I cannot tell you how many normal people want normal traditional relationships but feel they can't cause that's patriarchy or whatever.

All these progs are reading the Qu'ran and realizing that social conservative doctrines are actually good.
They could never admit that conservative christians (the oppressors) have a point about gender roles or marriage...but they can absolutely side with oppressed muslims.

In other words, in educated and progressive spaces being a conservstive Christian is a source of tremendous social shame. To be a traditional Muslim is not.
This means the incentives for people who want traditional families points toward Islam.

So Islam will win the day because it is socially acceptable in elite cultural spaces to defend social conservatism, objective meaning, and hierarchies of authority as a muslim.
You can't do this as a conservstive Christian.

If a Muslim defends male leadership, or gender roles, he is given the benefit of the doubt that he means well and his ideas are treated in good faith.
If a conservative Christian defends those things he gets called a racist, sexist, white supremacist, bigot.
See the point?

If you are in elite/progressive institutions and are looking for meaning, purpose, and faith, which religion is going to be given the benefit of the doubt around you, and which religion were you taught was the white mans evil and oppressive religion?
We all know the answer.

Traditional Islam is allowed to present itself as a well meaning faith of ancient beauty. You're allowed to by synpathetic to conservstive Islam.
Conservative Christianity is said to be a power hungry, oppresive, destructive, bigoted force wielded by self-interested racists.

This means conservative Christians have to fight through a forrest of insults, accusations of bad fsith, and cynical interpretstions just to be taken seriously, Islam gets the benefit of the doubt from the start.
The incentives in elite spaces are stacked in favor of Islam.

So, Islam will spread in elite cultural and institutional spaces, and it will not face the scrutiny Christianity faces.
The deck is stacked of Islam to take the culture.
So, Christian apologists....what are you going to to about it?
