The West’s Crisis of Faith: Why Belief Still Matters?

In the midst of growing secularism, the Western world finds itself at a crossroads when it comes to the role of faith in everyday life. On December 11, 2024, join us at the Scruton Salon in Budapest for a thought-provoking discussion on why belief still matters and the profound consequences of religion’s decline in modern society.

In Scruton Hub’s panel discussion the participants will have a discussion about the erosion of Christian values in Europe and its implications for Western civilization and how the loss of religious identity influences personal and collective meaning-making in today’s world.

During the panel the following topics will be discussed:

– the crucial role faith plays in shaping individual lives, societal structures, and moral frameworks

– the loss of religious belief and its far-reaching effects on culture, politics, and the well-being of individuals

– the necessity of faith-based communities in times of cultural upheaval

 Rod Dreher, American Writer, Director of Network Project, Danube Institute

 Iben Thranholm, Danish journalist, former Visiting Fellow, Mathias Corvinus Collegium

Moderator: Soléne Tadié, French journalist, Europe Correspondent for the National Catholic Register
