I thought this was a profound quote from "To Change The World" by James Davidson Hunter.
"Observers who contend that the anti-institutional trends that signal an exodus from congregational life are a healthy development - a sign of a new "revolutionary" expression of Christianity - are profoundly misguided. The reason is that such trends are rooted, in fact, in a consumer logic that makes individual choice central and the self sovereign... Such trends are less an expression in revolutionary Christianity than of modern individualism and consumerism, the effect of which will undermine the only structure capable of constructively resisting the worst of contemporary culture."
