What the studies* imply, therefore,** is that all cultures, to the extent that they become transmuted on a Western post-Christian (or neo-Christian) model, will tend to move to (or reinforce) a culture in which analytical activities such as scientific technology predominate over inspirational activity such as creative art.

That this did not happen in Europe until relatively recently or now, presumably reflects the fact that Europe has only recently become a secular, developed, relatively post-Christian*** society[.]

Christianity has not been abandoned so much as absorbed into the unconscious.
