I’m an atheist but I acknowledge the massive role the church has played in various major aspects of society for thousands of years – from being host to many people’s personal milestones like weddings and funerals to influencing global geopolitics.
The power of the church has been falling for awhile now but the impacts of this pandemic will be far-reaching and may change society in ways we can’t even begin to imagine including possibly being the final nail in the coffin for many churches.
