The Coming of the Secular Organization

America has always had a mixture of secular and religious components. The Enlightenment was s mostly secular, and America led the world with its Constitutional government, which produced great wealth.

During the 19rh Century, there was the Second Great Awakening which produced new churches, such as the LDS (Mormon) church - and Industrialization. And the Civil War over Slavery. These were huge events, and they consumed the American public, which had little awareness of what was going on.

The 20th Century produced WWI, the Great Depression, and WWII. And in the last half of that Century: the Computer, with its Internet and Cellular networks.

These were Secular organizations (as well as Technical). The world became divided into those who understood these new technologies - and those who could not (most of the population).

Another Religious organization arose: Evangelicalism. who wanted to return to the past. and its wealth.
