This book sounds really interesting, thank you for the recommendation.
As someone who had a very positive experience growing up attending church, the story of my adult life is intricately bound up with the flight of my broader church-connected community away from actual faith and into liberal dogmatism. The great covid betrayal shocked me deeply, no matter how much it made sense (in retrospect) with regard to ideological trends of the preceding years.
Currently I am not a member of any church, but destiny has decreed for me a part-time job as a church musician in an ultra-woke mainline Protestant congregation that pushed the jabs. The social justice-themed preaching I listen to politely each Sunday *still* has nothing to say about the massive injustices of the covid era. And they wonder why the pews are so empty these days.
