      Prosperous, connected citizens of advanced countries are subjected to less and less evil while able to perceive more and more of it. This creates a sort of moral vertigo. Lots of stuff is fucked up but people used to torture cats to death for public entertainment, so

      OK I went back and actually read the essay, comments withdrawn but I do still have a contrary take. I think churches are pretty much the last remnants of a whole set of civil institutions that did this.

      Mutual societies, Masonic-type clubs and other organizations of what @Scholars_Stage recently called democracy as a way of life/self-government (https://twitter.com/Scholars_Stage/status/1061420430962188289 …) were slowly crowded out and basically dead by 1970. We barely remember them.

      Churches a) had a special advantage under the 1st amendment, so lasted longer, b) allied w/were taken over by social activism, which gave them a new set of purposes while undermining their old ones. I think the association of "what we've lost" with "faith" is somewhat spurious.

      as it turns out, the least realistic thing about the SF novel "Orion Shall Rise", about a society in the Pacific Northwest rebuilding 1,000 years after a nuclear WW IIII and building a spaceship is the idea that the Elks Lodge survived from 1950 to 2000
