I agree in part that the death of god has been bad. But that's only in regards to community. That is, we broadly lack communal spaces now where people that might be wildly divergent in beliefs--other than certain core religious tenets --come together. The loss of faith has meant a loss of community for many people. Attempts to build communities of non-believers have largely failed, or run afoul of the same problems that mire religion in general.
The result is that non-believers appear to be more likely to live more solitary existences, whereas people that have religious faith and go to church appear more likely to have some kind of community support group.
