James' argument seems to come from the same camp of folks who think people deconstruct because it is "sexy" or "fun." In my limited experience, it often seems like that crowd views deconstructing (a word I don't particularly care for, but it gets the point across) and deconversion as one and the same. This is often far more telling than I think they realize, given that most people are not deconstructing a belief in Jesus, but instead, all the ancillary junk that comes with white American evangelicalism, like meeting in a public Starbucks to discuss how many times you watched porn last week.
Quite a smorgasbord of info! Thanks!!
