Faith seasoned with reason has nearly vanished from the Christian sphere. Our churches are vacuous places where one can remain safe both from the world's taint and the hound of hell. Most Protestant churches are so ugly in appearance, and offer such a woebegone numinous atmosphere, that one is hard-pressed not to curse in them, let alone worship. The spiritually convinced have either only been pretending to be convinced, or have been much too concerned about less important matters, such as whether or not the kingdom of heaven really does boil down to eating and drinking. Christian education has fared a similar fate.
Institutions concerned with doctrine tend to give short shrift to the intellect.
Those that emphasize intellect and higher learning, academics as it were, pooh-pooh doctrine or any serious religious belief. Part of this has to do with America. The strand of anti-intellectualism abounds in American Christianity. From the First and Second Great Awakenings to the modern period, the bibliotaph and the clerisy have been at loggerheads. But even before this time, America and Christianity have been at odds.
