What are sociologists beginning to say about societies without religion?

Les explains that he has heard sociologists and some of the powers that be beginning to recognize that a society without religion is a society that's doomed. He points out that the only deterrent to wickedness in the world today is the believer, the Church. So when a society rejects religion, it loses that restraint and is doomed.
