but what us boomers call religion or church is in freefall.

Will other weirdo theologies emerge, like, flat earthers? Yup. Dooms-dayers will always be here. Cults of personality like tfg, sure. But what most of us think of as christian religion will dissipate much more quickly that that.

I think it's technology, and the fact that cell phones make the world so much smaller, and people so much more cosmopolitan.
