Listen "Is Religion Obsolete? Discussing Decline and Renewal with Christian Smith"
Episode Synopsis
In his new book, Why Religion Went Obsolete, sociologist Christian Smith argues that religion is not just declining; it is increasingly seen as unnecessary. People can be good without God. Religion does not play a positive role in the world. So, what is the future for the church? In this interview, Cole talks with Christian Smith about the data, the rise of the spiritual but not religious, and what the future might hold for the church.
