 Maybe they had to reject Christianity because they were not blind to the
radical equalitarianism at it's organic core. But they needed something. ?

Whereas, those groovy feminist pathbreakers, identified Christianity as
used to justify power and oppression, but they too, needed something.

Or maybe it was just a boochie fad.
