Earlier this summer a discussion about the future of liberal Christianity in America emerged between liberal Episcopal author Diana Butler Bass, and New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, a traditional Catholic. Bass is the author of the recently released book, Christianity After Religion: The End of Church and the Birth of a New Spiritual Awakening where she argues: "We are witnessing the end of church or, at the very least, the end of conventional church. The United States is fast-becoming a society where Christianity is being reorganized after religion."
Douthat is the author of another recent book, Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics, where he argues that although America is still very religious, "It's bad religion: the slow-motion collapse of traditional Christianity and the rise of a variety of destructive pseudo-Christianities in its place."
