Isn't there something about Christianity itself that can be alienating to men, especially young men? I've read that argument, that Christianity is in inherenlty a "feminine" religion (I assume because of Jesus' peaceful and passive demeanor as written in the Gospels). I'm not sure I buy that argument given the many wars which have been fought under the auspices of Christianity, but it's something to think about.

I am not saying that Christianity is a ``feminine'' religion- just that certain aspects may prove impediments to young men pursuing it. Their is a fully masculine side to Christianity, but it may require more work for the young man.
