Divorce people from their past and the larger community to which they belong, convince them they are rugged individuals and that personal issues are of prime importance... and you have an easily manipulated populace with no bearings and no compass and no map, riddled with an inexplicable angst that bubbles up in nihilistic outbursts, suicides, depression, and other self destructive things.
You also get a church preoccupied with getting itself to heaven and becoming of no practical, relevant, use. Salt that loses its savour, etc.

E - by this I presume you mean our connection with previous generations who believed the truth, like we believe?
Many individuals that come into church do not want to have links with their past ancestors.
Since their ancestors did not believe the truth and may have led unholy lives.
