"Society or culture which has lost its spiritual roots is a dying culture"

“THE central conviction which has dominated my mind ever since I began to write is the conviction that the society or culture which has lost its spiritual roots is a dying culture, however prosperous it may appear externally. Consequently the problem of social survival is not only a political or economic one; it is above all things religious, since it is in religion that the ultimate spiritual roots both of society and the individual are to be found.”

~Christopher Dawson: Enquiries into Religion and Culture. (1930)
