Summing up, although religion is still considered today as a central fount of Western community life, the broad oscillations in religious participation during the twentieth century mirror trends in secular civic life. This disengagement appears to be tied to generational succession, as for the most part younger generations are less involved both in religious and in secular social activities than were their predecessors when at the same age. Evaluating the effects of changing communication forms and the development of additional channels over the recent years, along with how these developments, have altered one's understanding about oneself in relation to the discussed institutions. The recent criticism about technology, institutions, media, disintermediation, and their social implications, may bring forward the opposite view and create debates. But, human history is full of numerous examples of clash and integration through which a more advanced synthesis was born. Thus, the issue remains not to cease the questioning and the criticism so as to avoid the uncomfortable zone of debate, but rather to use these methods as contemporary tools in order to evaluate the future implications of today's human praxis.
