"somehow return to a romantic past"
Contentiousness is not a 'romantic past', it's a perennial ideal.
And one I'm entirely in favor of.
But these communities do tend to have a dark side along with the positive attributes you correctly mention.
Additionally, if the basis is faith, and people no longer have that, what then?
They breed a lot of narrow minded small thinking bigots, even if they do return wallets.
The idea we should as a society somehow return to a romantic past that never actually existed isn't a good one in my opinion. And we can't do that anyway because our understanding has changed.
Not that there aren't a lot of good things from the past that somehow got dropped by the wayside, there are.
