"Progress" as an unqualified ideal is a religious belief, insofar as it's incredibly nebulous and yet somehow morally univalent. Why is division opposed to progress and why is the latter preferable to the former, for example? This is a basically Christian belief that has been bleached of its more overtly religious trappings; but you will find that supposedly "enlightened" and "irreligious" people are just as mealy-minded, irrational, and yet irascible about their belief in such. In fact this bleaching itself is basically Protestant in nature, and it's no surprise that historically Protestant nations have been the ones to embrace the idea of "progress" most deeply. Neither is this a new development: I can guarantee you that countless human religions lost to prehistory have considered and embraced any "progressive" ideal you may care to suggest today, and that just as countless many have claimed their ideals epochal or millenarian.

Once more, I am an atheist myself and this isn't some sort of "gotcha". You simply can not get away from religious thinking unless you are an actual autist or other outlier, which "muh progress" "muh unity" "muh science" types are anything but.
