To me, after my succesful fade, the situation looks a bit like the days of Russell. Many people are searching for "something", a certain meaning or purpose. Many religious groups believe something is about to happen/needs to change in order to get a better world. Every domination has its own version of what is seen as the truth. Some people think they can discern the true from the false doctrines, with God's "help" of course. It often starts fresh but in the stream of time it all becomes dusty, polluted and corrupted as well as the others that were criticized and the sect becomes just another denomination among many others.
A universal truth can only exist if it finds its origin with a super intelligence that transcends our intelligence and known universe. No organised religion for me anymore. close is not good enough! It has to be clear and perfect. Modern-day prophecies need to be 100% correct, no compromise or "new light". Only if Jesus or any ultimate divine messenger reveals himself again with physical proof and miracles, I will reconsider my faith in the biblical God. Until then I will only use principles that work for me and things of historical value. There's too much at stake to live an illusion.
