I’m certainly not arguing that people were more determined to be social in the past and that lonely people should just bootstrap up a community, but people met their neighbors in the past the same way you meet them now, when someone moves in you introduce yourself and invite them over for an activity.
If someone wants to go to church there is certainly nothing stopping them, I’m not religious but my brother is a pastor in a very well attended church.
Sports seem to be more popular than ever!
And Americans are moving less than ever not more.
