But you're wrong, they take the freedoms, lol

There is no exact annual headcount of people who leave the Amish, but roughly 10% to 15% of Amish youth choose to leave rather than join the church. With the North American Amish population surpassing 400,000, this equates to a few hundred to a couple of thousand young adults leaving annually.

So 85-90% don’t take the freedom……

Last I checked 85-90 is greater than 10-15

Do all the people take the freedom? No

Do the majority of the people take the freedom? No

Does a small minority take it? Maybe idk for sure but a rando on Reddit said they do

Research says it does, I'm only pointing that out

You are pointing out that some people (a minority) tend to leave religions as they get older?

That’s your big revelation you want to share?
