Yes, especially since the decline in religious association means a decline in community association.

This is a much greater problem for the US compared to Europe, because I think Europeans have a much stronger sense of "place" and general sense of community compared to Americans. This is anecdotal but my experience with Europeans is that they have somewhat more attachment to their home city/area/region/country that keeps them tethered to the community. America, still having a lot of vestigial aspects of a frontier country, doesn't quite have this outside of some parts (almost totally in the East) and so they need additional things like religion to bond with others.

Basically I think Americans are more likely to be isolated, and a loss of religious communities and the bonding they bring only accentuates isolation for many.
