Over the course of its long history, America has experienced numerous religious "awakenings," certain of which served as important precursors to the American Revolution, the abolition movement and Civil War, the Progressive Era (1890-1920), and the Civil Rights Movement. In effect, each "great awakening" served as a populist wellspring for radically new rules within our society, our economy and our political system.

Wow-What guts to discuss "the elephant in the room=Religion"!
Let just me add to #8 Chaos..."letting scientists...run everything."
Earth's geological history indicates several devastating-to-life events from within (supervolcanic eruptions) & without (asteroids) well before the evolution of homo sapiens. It is only a matter of TIME before it happens again. The only long term scientific solution seems to be ESCAPE...or to change the dimension of TIME.
Is it any wonder many still pray?
