[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is hope after all.[/quote] I don't know. I am an atheist myself, but some of these churches do a lot of good: fostering social connections, helping the poor etc. I think it is mainly the mainstream protestant and catholic churches that are losing members, the crazy anti-vaccine pro-Trump gospel of prosperity ones are doing fine... And what are we replacing the church-going with? How do we form the social bonds that we need to stop polarization and isolation?[/quote] Like other nations do - with government safety nets. Subsidized daycares for everyone, not just piecemeal stuff for people connected to a church. Universal health care instead of Go-fund-mes and church meal trains. Parental leave for mothers and fathers instead of getting someone at church to watch your first kid while you're in the hospital giving birth to your second kid. The USA is so backward in this social area. [/quote]
