I believe that you are valued by your "Facebook" "likes". It is

I could not spend my entire day walking around looking at a phone and texting nonsense to shallow buffoons.

(anti)Social Media is going to take down what we have been
foolishly calling civilization but is no more than technological
advances handed over to the true dinosauria, the zombified phone
walkers and thumb exercisers. Maybe they will be carried forward
toward totally synthetic experience and become the button pushers
that people believed would be the course of evolution in the 1950s.

All we need is to discover how the universe came to be and these people
will find themselves looking foolish in the same camp as followers of
Thor, Zeus, Poseidon, Osiris etc.
I would enjoy that!
Followers of Thor and Odin aka the Asatru are in trouble now
over racist discrimination. They believe that skin color is key to religious beliefs.
All the old pantheons are seemingly nothing more than worship
of archetypes embedded in human unconscious. But we will see in due
course of time if the no-fun-dumb-mentalists don't get in the way.
But Jörg Schilling has gone on and doubtless either is not
or else know the truth of all.
bliss - apparently the creation mythos of the various cults are now considered childish.

I am less concerned about the effects of technological changes than
about the human psychological propensity to want someone else to bear responsibility for all one's major decisions. That has led to most
people spending their lives subject to tyranny for most of history, and
it looks like one of the few partial exceptions ("Western Civilization")
may be fading.
Islam (Submission) totals about 1.6 billion and increasing. The Koran,
the Hadith, and the clerisy -- mullah upward to caliph or ayatollah --
wield full authority over all Muslims, thus relieving them of thinking
for themselves.
The Muslims continue to regard jihad as the highest form of worship for
Allah and to define it as conversion, slaughter, enslavement, or
political and economic total domination of all non-Muslims, with Heaven
and 72 houris for all who die in the process and absolvement from all
sin for those who engage in it and survive. I consider this a problem.
See Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the
West by Raymond Ibrahim for details if such interest you.
Marxism and its direct and indirect followers had a setback when the
USSR fell apart, but China is coming on strong and adoption by virtually
all of the radical left in Western societies of some variety of Marxism
or a descendant ideology is increasingly of concern due to gains in the
U.S. in particular.
Marx focused on two premier goals, destruction of religion and
capitalism, and regarded destruction of the family and property rights
as inescapable for that.
I find these to be destructive of a common morality and consequent
harmony among people, as well as destructive of economic motivation and resulting prosperity due to human desire to acquire personal power over others and accumulate material wealth.
The last translates to governmental tyranny by those few able to indulge
in their desires for power over others, or wealth,
or both, imposed on those subject to them. Twentieth Century history
informs of of what that does.
My justification why I am less concerned about technology addressed, I
shall drop this subject from a place where arguably it does not belong.

Should one attack what seems to be the "least-bad" of the major
contingents?
Success in such attack would seem likely to damage all, attacked
and attacker alike.
Of course, "least-bad" may be subject to disputes dependent on one's
existing values. If you think destroying all not like you in some
specific way is the epitome of "good," that would not favor any
variety of Christianity.

Don't forget the Spanish Inquisition, with people first being tortured
and then either burned at the stake, quartered by horses, cast into a
river with a millstone tied to their necks, broken on the wheel, or —
if they were lucky — simply beheaded with an ax.
Even now in the 21st century, being an altar boy is a fairly hazardous
way of wasting one's youth.
But hey, you mustn't complain about any of it. After all, "Jesus died
for your sins", you know? ;)
Catholicism : "Shit happens because I deserve it."
Protestanism : "Shit won't happen if I work harder."
7th-Day Adventists : "Shit only happens on Saturdays."
Islam : "Shit happens because of the infidels."
Judaism : "Why is this shit always happening to me?"
Hinduism : "This shit has happened before."
Buddhism : "If shit happens, is it really shit?"
Hare Krishna : "Shit happens, rama lama ding dong!"
Rastafarianism : "Littaz smoke dees sheet, mon!"

Oh and it continues until now in the USA with the Christianists
screaming about suppression of religion when they are told to
stay within bounds of religion and stay out of politics.

Amendment I to the U.S. Constitution was intended to keep the
Federal Government's fingers out of religion.
IIRC, at the time it was written and adopted, a majority of
the colonies had an established religion, and absolutely nothing
was being done at the Federal level to affect that. Changes
at the state level did occur, particularly in the early 1800s,
but they did not restrict or discourage participation in
politics by religions entities, just restricted or discouraged
governmental participation in or support for religion by the state.
It was never intended to keep religion out of politics.
Those who think or complain otherwise are simply unaware

Supreme Courts in my lifetime and I believe previous to that but,
Jörg Schilling is still dead and while tacking on other subjects
is common enough I doubt he would be encouraged by this.
The religious wars in Europe following the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic counter-reformation is why we don't
ave an established church in this nation. Too much blood shed
and too much disruption of commerce. Could be compared to the
effect of the Black Death. Religion can be a mental plague.
We can avoid religious wars internally, I hope but, since
the Anti-vaccinations, anti-mask movements and rejection of common
public health measures by religious institutions my hope is waning.
bliss - 'Nearly any fool can use a Linux computer. Many do.' After all
here I am...
Your comment above is strong evidence you know little or nothing
of the roles, conflicts, and commonalities of the varieties of
Christian faith in the colonies and the states they became, up
through at least 1800.
This is not a proper forum to address such matters, though, and
I will simply restate that my comment above stands.
Cheers!
