Materialism, Social Cohesion, and Religion

Abstract

Societal decline is associated with both the decline of social cohesion and the increase in decadence. Religion is both a binding factor that promotes social cohesion and a bulwark that protects against decadence (materialism/consumerism). Religiosity is an evolved psychosocial, multilevel adaptation that both confers strength to social bonds, and reinforces prosocial values that mitigate declines toward the temptation of decadence.
