I read this mornig that Americans, especially young Americans, are abandoning churches wholesale. If they leave churches, but do not abandon God, that is not so bad. It is a very old Protestant tradition to relate to the Divinity without little Catholic intercession by intermediaries like a priest.
This new development is a sea change, and it could be for the better if done smart and carefully. Suppose that people leave the church, or synagogue but remain on intimate terms with God, Jesus, Allah or Buddha.
If the independent-minded, new faithful would maverize and blend Mavellonialist relating to the Divinty with their conscious act of severing ties with the formal congregation, it could lead to a wholesome, powerful religious revolution--which is coming regardless.
