In this episode Rod Dreher mentions the difference between perception and conception (borrowed from who else but Marshal McLuhan) in religion. Perception is the experience of God, conception is the abstraction of that experience. Religion dies when religion gets "stuck in the left brain". The first thing that people do before they lose their faith is stop praying, because that is how we perceive God.
