    Many young men want control and power. If they embrace religion and force it on others, they feel control and power.

      I will call bullshit on that. Young men want hope and community just like everyone else. In the current socio-economic setting, it’s not possible to find these organically; hence, religion plays a role. There are extremes in everything, and using extremes as a norm to define a group (in this case, young men) does no good.

      And please don’t argue with me about why this is only happening to young men.
