The pressing issue of this time is what is the path to cultural restoration, and you can't do a cultural restoration while you have massive amounts of immigration.

Why restoration, and not building something new and well-adapted to the knowledge and needs of the 21st century?

But the current state is unprecedentedly amazing technology and knowledge wise. The ideal culture, given 21st century technology and 21st century knowledge about how to do culture, is likely to be very different from even the best-performing 20th century culture. So we should try to reach that new and better goal.

The moral and religious states are more important than the states of technology and economics. This decline is also resulting a very dangerous territory in both politics and society. Human nature doesn't change over time. The Anglo-world reached a semi-ideal state and tradition at some point but was destroyed through the introduction of a totally new culture which some people thought was better than what was inherited. There's going to be something new but it needs to build on the past, because it contains truth that has worked better before and the life that people have lived before is suprior to the emptiness of the modern way of life.

I'd argue that organized religion is the direct CAUSE of many of the issues you're worried about. It encourages people to 'have faith' and discourages critical thought. When any group of people thinks they have the unverifiable answers to life's biggest questions, that means everyone else doesn't, which breeds hate.

Worse yet, it gives special interest groups easy ways to manipulate and mislead members of organized religions. Because by and large, religious people are the most judgemental, fearful people I encounter, which makes them easy targets. Especially when said religions have historical hatred for other religions.

Which is funny, because not only do the three major religions share the same God, they also happen to share much of the same exact religious text. Which would all be downright hilarious if so many people didn't die in the name of that god, and if the average priest didn't molest the altar boys.

But yeah SURE, things are bad because 'not enough people are religious' lmfao. Look around yo, your institutions have been corrupt since the start, we just didn't know how systemic it was until the Internet shared that with us. Because churches have been spending all that cash 'donate to God' to protect pedos.
