Churchgoers no longer have to put up with components of religious life they find difficult or less than gratifying. Consumer-driven churches, often with their "no questions asked" standards for baptism and the sacraments, are the spiritual equivalent of spending all day on the couch, and eating cupcakes for dinner.
A strong correlation has emerged between the consumer-driven religious marketplace and the decay of Christian moral character.
