What do you think about this quote by Charles Dickens on organized religion?

Asked by NerdyKeith (5489points) April 12th, 2016

“Look into your churches’ diminished congregations and scanty attendance. People have grown sullen and obstinate, and are becoming disgusted with the faith which condemns them to such a day as this, once in every seven. They display their feeling by staying away [from church].

Turn into the streets [on a Sunday] and mark the rigid gloom that reigns over everything around”
– Charles Dickens (1836)

And do you think it holds up today?
