Here is a little bit more to add.

It's like weakening the ten commandments by seeing them not as commandments but as recommendations, then as suggestions, then as possibilities and then as ideas. In the end, you don't have much of an idea left, because you are not able to observe and learn from a norm which is not generally practised.

Very good example.

He is at the mercy of the pressure exerted by commerce and the state, and his obligations shift from the family sphere to his workplace and his service to institutional organisations.

I think this is true specifically for women, since their role tended to revolve more around home and family. I agree that making marriage the exception rather than the norm is directly detrimental to the family, which in turn is the cornerstone of society as a whole.

The tragedy of this development is that state and economy have taken the place of religion for morality without being religious themselves.

It is a loss of spiritual meaning in the mind and heart of men. Where he finds himself lost and without compass. And where any social consensus can be taken as a virtue.

But this most important union of all, that between a man and a woman, cannot be replaced by anything equal to it.

Even if it is an unofficial marriage, as you said in the back, I agree. Although I think making it official has quite a bit of power.

But as an individual, you are subject to the tribal rules of those who see their salvation in "ecological footprints" and "health consciousness". Such tribal thinking is reflected in fragmented artificial small movements such as "BLM" and "LGBTQ" and the like. However, the superstructure is not religion but pseudo-religion.

You cannot remove a religion without another one appearing, even if it is a fake one. There is a famous Mexican saying that goes like this "he who does not know God prays to a saint".

The all too limited education of people in spiritual theories and practices makes them compliant instruments of those who are pseudo-religious.

I agree.
