Has there been an actual decline in religiosity or just a decline in organized religion? When I see the pseudo Christian religions supporting Trump and the American Catholic Church trying to strong-arm Biden on abortion, I think the decline of organized religion is both, on balance, a good thing, and is something that organized religion has brought on itself.
Organized religions have done a lot of good things as well, so this isn't a bash organize religion thing for me, but looking at the history of the world with the Church being on the side of Kings who fought needless wars and subjugated the average person, and the same thing going on, for instance, in Russia today, there is still a lot that organized religions need to do to save themselves before preaching to others.
