A brief YouTube response by Jim Penman arguing that declining religious belief is part of a broader societal shift away from commitments (family, nation, principles) toward seeking personal pleasure, which he claims harms individuals and society; he advocates returning to living for others to regain satisfaction.
Loss of religion is a cause, but it's really part of the same process. People are going away from belief in family, belief in your nation, belief in principles, to one where we just believe in pleasure and having fun and enjoying ourselves. And what makes me feel good now, it's not good for society, it's not good for individuals, it's not good for anything. We need to get back to a stage where we live for people other than ourselves, and there's a lot more satisfaction in that.
Rising mental illness and falling birth rates have the same cause, it is this.....
