What happens when a civilization removes God—but keeps searching for meaning?

In this episode of Decoded, Elisabeth McKay explores one of the most important cultural questions of our time: Who killed God?

This is not about religion versus atheism. It's a deeper examination of how modern society gradually replaced transcendence with human-centered systems—and what happened as a result.

From the Enlightenment and the French Revolution to Darwin, Freud, Marx, modern psychology, consumer culture, and the rise of self-worship, Elisabeth traces the historical and psychological shifts that transformed how we understand morality, suffering, purpose, identity, and death.

In this episode:

• The Enlightenment and the rise of secularism

• Why Nietzsche warned that "God is dead"

• The Prosperity Paradox and modern hedonism

• How comfort replaced dependence on transcendence

• Why identity became the new religion

• The psychological consequences of moral relativism

• The sexual revolution and the commodification of the self

• Why modern mental health feels incomplete

• Death, meaning, and the loss of spiritual frameworks

• What happens when suffering no longer has purpose

This is an invitation to ask deeper questions about meaning, morality, suffering, purpose, and the spiritual foundations that shape human life.

Because the question may not be who killed God. The question may be what dies in a civilization when God becomes unnecessary.
