THE COLLAPSE OF the stock market, concurrent with the Great Depression during the last Century, left people coming out with a stigmatized view of investing, which continued for decades, up until the 1960s, after which time the stigmas became old fashioned.
The collapse of traditional world religions has been leaving people stigmatized against a belief in God, also, I think, and will remain so until the meaning of that belief is restored, at some time in the future.
It is typical, I think, for religious faith to form and rise during social collapse.
We’ll need to keep an eye out.
