In general, replace all of the social and infrastructure with themselves at the center and then there's nothing to replace when the churches fail to serve the people - so people leave.
(I've never been a member of any - I just study - as a hobby - "conversion era" in Europe. Be aware that some of what the church replaced was toxic, and some was not. It's an interesting set of eras to study....)
The churches have failed though, largely. And finding out why can be informative.
(this is not a religious failure, this is a social one. Don't blame peoples' beliefs for this, that's not the right target).
