The societal problems that Campbell recognized as a result of our lack of cultural mythos in the 1980s are even more present forty years later.

Campbell notes that our lack of myth-based rites of passage have left young people without guideposts for living. Because of this, they often do not know how to behave properly.

Bill Moyers asks if this is not related to the Evangelical calls to return to Christianity. Campbell retorts that these calls are a "terrible mistake" because that form of religion is only "vestigial" and it "doesn’t serve life" (p. 15).

This stood out to me because now, forty years on, we still have right-wingers ineptly declaring that the downfall of Western society is due to our walking away from Judeo-Christian religion.
