Episode notes
Restaurants Lose Revenue As Americans Drink Less
- Americans are drinking less in restaurants, shifting revenue from alcohol to food and squeezing margins.
- Causes include demographics (Gen Z drinks less), higher costs, more nonalcoholic options, GLP-1 drugs reducing cravings, and legal cannabis substitution.
Creationism Is A Niche Position Now
- Young earth creationism is far less common than assumed, around 17% overall, with modestly higher rates only among some older evangelicals and Eastern Orthodox.
- Most Americans prefer a God-guided evolution or intelligent design hybrid rather than strict young-earth views.
Rapture Theology Once Anchored Pro Israel Politics
- Dispensational rapture theology once tied American evangelical support for Israel to prophetic fulfillment.
- As that theological framework wanes, political and cultural shibboleths (immigration, Trump, anti-woke) are replacing theological identity markers.
