- how to get the society back on track

>It just creates a selection pressure for religions to shed the spandrels named "church" and "god."
key words: "selection pressure".
we want a counter-pressure for balance.

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." (new king james version)

what USA got right - righter than other countries anyway - was that to make mammon the official state 'religion'.
that's right, the humble and filthy greenback kept the actual, god-fearing religion away from the highest rungs of power.

rights are good. *entitlements* is where it went off the rails.
the feminists, the progressives, all the do-gooders propose ever more *entitlements* under the guise of "rights (to)".

more than that, Christianity was built for *hierarchical* society, with mostly localized tribes.
it still works fine for that - as witnessed outside of the metropolies. federalism, republicanism, #RespectYourElders, all great. liberal democracy, nope.

federalism eff yeah. unironically what made the early USA work so well 👌
pluralism was made possible through *localism* rather than through state-enforced "tolerance and civil rights".

"tolerance and civil rights" always runs afoul of inter-tribe conflicts. when two tribes point at each other "they are spoiling my life", the state is *forced* to choose one.
liberal democracy chooses the more reliable voter block, rather than the more moral tribe.

who gets to *deem* something "a religion" in the sense of 1A?
no seriously, who does? the SCOTUS might be able, but certainly would be *unwilling*.

looping back, there is "a selection pressure" - ever increasing since *the mammon* have been knocked down as the ideal.
i unironically say, bring the dollar back as the focal point. restore chasing earthly gains as the official, state-sanctioned american dream.

"but mark", i hear you object, "wouldn't that be superbly corrupting?"
funny you should say so in between Trump's terms.
the first candidate that the establishment could *not* corrupt. the wealth makes him independent, and he is the candidate of the people.

ah yes, the "civil righst" - along with "the great society" making the 3rd gutting of the republic.
the 2nd was Woodrow Wilson's stuff; pretty much all of it.
a lot to fix.

but first, the most pressing issue that probably could be pushed through with popular support:
surprisingly enough: the freedom of association.
something so obvious it was never put in the constitution, and is now being used as a wedge issue

when you're being pumped up for increasing sales, you don't care about faux-religious nonsense of progressivism.
all you think of is how much richer you can make your wife & kids, and how you can retire off to warm states to fish & grill.

to close and reiterate:
progressivism is an official state religion. it didn't win; it's running on credit. starve it off of dollars by earning big bucks for your own family - be pumped up about it.
do your religious life in your family & private time. pay tithe.

the other part is who votes for ever more progressive policies... but that's an entirely different discussion, one of how come the *society of families* is not enfranchising *the families*. but that's for another day.
