So has modern man lost his desire for religion?  The evidence does and doesn’t support this notion.  While many a preacher would like to convince his audience that the world should return to some “Godlier time” lost in the past, the truth is that the number of people professing to be religious is about as high as it has been for the last few hundred years.  The interest in religion is there, and the people are there participating, but the depth of the faith is missing.  Europe lost religion last century, but by-the-numbers, Americais still as religious as ever.  It was built with many religious beams in its framework, and long after these are replaced with secular substitutes, Americans don’t want to remove the old timber.  The next chapters will discuss why people cling to their faiths.  Religious attractions are able to withstand some powerful repelling social forces.
