This is unrelated to your post, but I thought you might be interested in this anticipatory quote from the 1912 work ‘Civilisation at the Cross Roads’ by John Nevile Figgis (1866-1919), an Anglican, historian and philosopher:
‘‘A society which leaves God out of the reckoning in all matters of family and sexual intercourse is bound direct for the rocks. At this moment indeed it the ethic of Christianity which is more unpopular than the creed. It hinders the free development of the individual in regard to society, or it is disliked as ascetic and unnatural in regard to the private life; and in business relations it is rejected on principle as mere sentimentalism.’’
