    Evangelical Christianity is for dumb hicks and these people fancy themselves dark brooding intellectuals. Buddhism is too hippy-coded. It has its appeal for Sam Harris types but its not trad and fashy enough for these people

      American Buddhism is full of cranks and woo woo hippies and grifters. You have to go further out of your way to find actual buddhist infrastructure. I can see a lot of people being put off by all the orientalist psuedo mysticism that gets passed off as buddhism in the us.
