There. That should be click-bait.
This short essay quotes T S Eliot, then asks a question, then answers it, and tells us something that we all kinda-sorta knew without having formulated it.
Here's the (slightly-edited) end of the column--the part we all kinda-sorta knew:
...fatherless children don’t go to church. In 1929, the American illegitimacy rate hovered around 3 percent. Today it is 40 percent overall. Church attendance for adults
who grew up in a household with a father who attended church every week
is 72 percent; church attendance for adults who did not have a
church-attending father is 2-4 percent.
...How many rioters grew up following their fathers into church every week?...
Now go back and read the sexy part.
