> All that our post-Christian society has delivered so far is confusion, a mental health crisis in the young and the culture wars. I don't think we're far enough past Christian society in Britain to blame atheists/agnostics for these issues. In fact, we could posit they are a sign of the times changing. Confusion because people are moving away from ancient beliefs to unproven modern ones. People are having to find their way instead of rely on old superstitions. Mental Health crisis because we have more awareness of issues and because the old ways are totally inappropriate for modern problems. In the same way a Modern Theist is different to an Old one, we al have to adapt to the way the world is changing. And Culture Wars, in large part because society is now far more split between theism and atheism than it ever used to be. There are plenty of other aspects to modern identity politics too though, it's not all religion vs secularism.
