"The teenage vampire slayer is the reason an estimated 50,000 women a year are quitting the church, according to a study published yesterday in Britain.
"Because of its focus on female empowerment, young women are attracted by Wicca, popularized by the TV series 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'," the report's author, Dr Kristin Aune, a sociologist at the University of Derby, writes.
"In short, women are abandoning the church," she wrote.
Young women are attracted to the pagan religion Wicca because females play a central role in it, Dr. Aune found.
And it's been shows like "Buffy" that are responsible for introducing young people to Wicca."
Well hells bells. Somebody's gotta stop the vampires. If the major religions would just give a teensy bit of lip service to the blood suckers over them demons that need exorcising, maybe they'd get the gals back.
