Literacy, driven by Sola Scriptura, the renunciation of social vices and the adoption of an independent work ethic provided the economic foundation that ended serfdom in Europe, which was a form of slavery. If American society is to abandon Christianity, then we need to identify clear alternatives for the social functions performed by Christianity.
