We're as atomized and alienated as ever, but now we also can't afford to buy a house or raise kids. Libs will celebrate this.

    A dozen or so episodes back, the chapos theorized Mormonism is the only religion in America that has enough sense of community (and land/property) to become a serious political power in a the event of a general collapse.

    Protestantism will be more like barbarous tribes.

    No idea what the Catholics will do.

      As an ex-mormon living in Utah, I think that would be the case 10 years ago, but maybe not so much anymore because the church is starting to lose membership and the mormon population is becoming less concentrated due to in-migration from other parts of the country/world in the more urban parts of the Utah.
