For sure, my church citation wasn't about religion specifically, but that the decline in third spaces in general and a lack of community can be directly connected to early deaths and deaths of despair.

That's right.

Church does not have to be a church of faith, it can well be a church of reason.

What matters is that people with shared values get to spend time together on a regular basis without getting into status games that might eventually show up no matter what the church.
