I'm very pro-capitalist, as in merit based, not crony based. I'm also a non believer, as in I do not accept that there is any god. However I fully appreciate the sentiment when it is held by truly humble people. For example, if a truly humble person says god bless you, I can fully appreciate where that comes from on a human level.

So in this context I view the Church as a completely lost institution, it represents at this point, nothing. They have nothing to offer humanity other than a memory.

The church can only ever be a touch stone in the human story, it can not what ever the sentiment of the day is, strive to be more popular. People either figure it out for themselves or they do not. The story is immortal. It doesn't morph or change to curry favor.

Look at the Amish, the Amish are rooted. This is why they are respected. The church lost it's moorings.
