"Mary Eberstadt’s How the West Really Lost God (2013) transformed my understanding of secularization. Traditional theories suggest that societies become more secular as they become wealthier and more scientifically advanced. Eberstadt challenges this assumption by presenting a compelling alternative: The decline of the family is deeply intertwined with the decline of religious belief....Eberstadt’s thesis is proving true.... Rather than merely lamenting the rise of secularism, believers must engage in revitalizing family life as a means of sustaining faith for future generations."
