How Modern-Day Young-Earth Creationism Pushes People To Atheism

I don’t know how common this is nor do I mean to claim that these young people left their faith due solely to their discovery that YECism is false. But that is one way that “modern YECism pushes people to atheism.”

Likewise, I have a lot of anecdotal experience from stories of people leaving YEC for atheism. Not all become atheists, of course; there are FB groups where former TEC (but still Christian) are common. There is also a book “Already Gone” by Ken Ham where he discusses the problem.
