Thus Douthat becomes your traditional conservative American scold, with no explanation for why countries far more secular and non-religiously orthodox than America (one of them just the other side of our northern border!) nevertheless have healthier societies.
It would be a different book if Douthat made his case for orthodoxy on theological grounds, arguing that this debate mattered for the purpose of saving human souls or creating the Kingdom of God or accurately telling homosexuals that God wants them to be celibate (well, that's his view).
