I always thought I would be, but the problem now is that it’s still basically there but hyper-decentralized and individually radicalizing in a way that’s totally unbounded by any institution.

Like I think it’s arguably gotten worse because the worst parts of faith clung on (bigotry, insularity, victim complex, magical thinking, etc.), except now wholly decoupled from any of the actually decent teachings churches would normally (nominally) profer like charity, community, humility, etc.

Oh, and as a corollary, a lot of it has just been leeched away by Trump and his cult.
