...Protestantism was politically cautious during the postwar and cold-war years. There was much emphasis on individual redemption, on "faith in faith," as exemplified by the evangelism of Billy Graham. Since then, the churches have entered a new phase of involvement and activism, of protests and politics. This latest era is not all action, as it may occasionally seem, or all emotion. In recent years the churches have evolved a body of ideas and positions notable for their wide range, their relative readiness to accept change and (on the whole) their growing liberalism...

McLuhan barely disguises his dislike for the Gutenberg (Protestant) era. When contrasting the literate world of the book age with the preliterate medieval world, he harks back romantically to the corporate society of the middle ages when anomie was unknown and an organic society cared for all its children. Individualism and the curse of Protestantism destroyed the foundations of the corporate system, cutting the members loose from the protection they had enjoyed...
