Reorganized Religion with Bob Smietana
America’s rapidly changing religious landscape has spurred many questions about the cause of its decline and predictions about what the future holds. In his new book, Reorganized Religion: The Reshaping of the American Church and Why It Matters (Worthy Publishing, 2022), Religion News Service’s Bob Smietana follows the decline of mainstream Christian denominations, the rise of “disorganized disbelievers,” and how politics shapes religious communities and what this means for the the future of our civil society.
Mr. Smietana will be joined by AEI’s Daniel Cox, the Washington Post’s Michelle Boorstein, the University of Connecticut’s Ruth Braunstein, and Trinity Forum’s Peter Wehner to discuss the book’s claims and ideas.
