How The West Really Lost God by Mary Eberstadt
This book argues that the West’s loss of religious faith is less the result of abstract intellectual arguments than a social revolution centered on sexual autonomy: changes brought by contraception, abortion, the sexual revolution, and the breakdown of traditional family and community ties severed the practical supports that sustained religious belief and practice. Drawing on cultural history, sociology, and personal observation, the author links elite-driven cultural shifts and the erosion of communal bonds to declining church attendance, spiritual indifference, and moral fragmentation, and contends that rebuilding family structures and communal norms is essential to any revival of religious life.
