Oh, the West is currently experiencing a lull in public religious morality., no doubt about it. But that's not so much due to some unprecedented collapse in belief. It's because the Liberal error of Separation of Church and State™ has neutered the Church's power in the public square.
But I take solace in knowing that what can't go on won't.
Secularism will die out for the simple reason that secular people aren't having any children.
This doesn’t jibe with what I see with my own eyes, but stats don’t lie, right? Very heartening. The analysis of historical trends is fascinating.

Things can always get worse forever. If the Church was powerless to stop the liberal cycle the first time, it won’t stop it a second time.
You Hope Too Much.
Right on. Reality has a way of reasserting itself in undeniable ways.
