I hear what you're saying, but I need you to understand it's an emotional appeal and not something backed up by evidence. Religion doesn't automatically make someone backwards, or stupid, or whatever. You are associating religion with low-class behavior, because in Europe it has been the tendency for decades if not almost a century (post WWI) to abandon religion in droves. But this is changing. And you will see that, in the future, there will be many highly-educated religious people that are very much aligned with you in your values, thinking, etc. It's just that being religious will become popular again, just like being atheist or agnostic was popular in the 20th century for intellectuals and the upper-class.

Again, if you look at American society this is very apparent because they remained far more religious than we did. So regardless of the state in question, there's a lot of people who are religious, including people who, again, champion the same values you do. You have to speak to some of these people and interact with them before you assume that all religious people are bad.

In many ways, it will also be a good thing, because if religion once again becomes the domain of the elites then they can start policing the primitive religiosity of the lower classes. So you might see an improvement in the general behavior of religious people.

Religion and nationalism aren't a threat, but bad religion and bad nationalism are, and my point is that we must participate in religion and in nationalism in certain ways to make sure they go in the right direction.

Paganism didn't go extinct because people didn't believe in it. Christians had to go and kill those people and get them to convert by force. Which is also what communists tried to do to get people to abandon religion, though they didn't have enough time to make it go the whole way.

The things you are describing, belief in yourself etc., is just your psychological predisposition. You are mistaking that for the standard human model. It is not. The standard human values community above all else. They also don't want to think about their identity or their ultimate purpose. They want friends, a partner, a job, and to be told what to do and what to believe (but to think that they chose freely). That's it.

The world you're describing, the multicultural end-of-history globalized world, is dead. It's not coming back. So you need to think hard about what you really want in life and where you want to go to spend the rest of your years. Because that period is not coming back.
