Have a look at America, religious extremism is growing, people's liberties are being eroded, politicians are spruking bibles with the constitution thrown in to try and legitimize the union of the state with the church
Society is full of people turning back to faith, whether it is belief in sky gods, belief in flat earth, belief in alternate therapies - anything but trust in science, because ultimately, many people are not mentally equipped to cope with a world where things are going a bit pear shaped.
All good, let all the religious and conspiratorial types believe whatever they need to believe. It doesnt stop progress, it just makes more bandwidth on the internet.
