Replacing religion with politics has not worked out well.
People are still clutching lies they were told by the media years and years ago, because they have fragile egos, and admitting that they were lied to knocks down their whole house of cards identity.

Completely true. Politics is not a replacement for religion at all. Part of what religion gives people is a value system that can guide their actions (not that this has always worked out well at all either). When people swap religious ideology for a political ideology, it's often a replacement for that. But even a religious person benefits from consciously thinking through what they value and why.
I think we're still in some primitive post-religion cultural phase where we don't understand what religion largely does for humans now that the faith claims are demonstrably false and we live in a pluralistic society that doesn't enable a religious majority to force everyone to abide.
Im choosing to remain optimistic, and to believe that this is the beginning of technology democratizing everything. A world with no numbskull bureaucrats playing stupid games to win stupid prizes, and harming millions in the process. Dreamy.
