I know there are multiple causes for this, but one big cause is a failure of the church to be relevant in peoples’ lives. Feel-good, God-as-Santa Claus Christianity hasn’t worked to stem the defections.

Pretty much. You can tell a church is doomed when you see that most of its parishioners are women, and usually older women. That’s a church that will be gone in 10 years.
