My question: where does your hope come from?
Mankind's continuing acceptance and perseverance of knowledge about are selves and the world in which we live toward bettering the human experience.
There is a humanistic secular non religoius drive to improve things..
Look back in history to what you see today in most modernized countries in direct comparison from 100 years ago and you see something better for humanity.
Something better never comes from humanity using past ancient civilizations as emulating role models for social behavioral standards, for example the ancient Hebrew civilization of what can be read in the bible.
