Vuosisatojen ajan Suomen lakien perustana on ollut Jumalan moraalilaki. Nyt tuo perusta on murenemassa kovaa vauhtia, minkä myös Päivi Räsäsen saama tuomio homoseksuaalien solvaamisesta osoittaa. Kun lainsäädännön raamatullinen perusta korvataan subjektiivisella kokemusmaailmalla, on sillä mittavia vaikutuksia sekä yhteiskunnallisella että yksilöllisellä tasolla.

I Danmark og i Skandinavien har man også flere steder oplevet en del fremgang i hyppigheden af kirkegang, særligt i kirker med konservativ bibelsk forkyndelse - med vægtlægning på arbejde med bibelen, et levende kristent fællesskab mm.
