Millions of people are reportedly turning to AI chatbots for moral and spiritual guidance, with platforms like Gloo.com providing faith-based AI services.

Sociologist Christian Smith argues in his new book that traditional religion has become "obsolete" in American culture, citing 1991 as a pivotal turning point following the Cold War. While Smith attributes the decline to shifting national identity and economic changes, critics point out that he omits the primary factor: the birth of the consumer internet.
