You don`t have to go that far, middle class income/wage is stagnating since the 90s. We have to fix this shit. The best state the middle-class ever was, was in the 50/60s as the the disparity between rich and poor was not as strong. (I`m not convinced with your graphic as the early 20th century was the era of the oil barons and other monopolists, 1% of today has as much capital as the other 50% but in that era 1% had as much capital as 90%. Even worse were the aristocratic era in which the nobility, cleric had 99% of everything while 99% oinly shared 1& of all capital.) Still somethings are working out better, but we need to ensure that income creates wealth and not wealth creates wealth as this is stagnative and injust.

>not something to be worshipped.
To disagree is not to worship. It is possible for someone to not do something that oneself does. Some people do not worship at all and have no need to belief ontologically in something.
>no "objective truths". You choose what to believe.
If you apply the scientific method then there exist scientific objectivity. Gravity, atoms and light-speed are not social constructs but proven facets of a consequental reality. It is possible for a subjective mind to refuse those but then one is trapped in solipsistic madness.
The issue of revelation is that there is no qualitative and quantitative difference between a prophet and a schizo madman. Pantheistic perception atleast do not suffer from special cultural pleadings but the arguments for mytholical relgions like christanity, islam and buddhism are of the same quality. Who is the prophet and bringer of revelation? Jesus, Muhammed, Zarathustra, Buddha or Joesph Smith. And can revelation be given from a revelad one to the others or would it be trapped in subjective perceptions? Can God create a unmoveable object and move it? Yes, he could because he is not a logical being. If you do not want charismatic leaders rule and compete for power then rule by reason and discourse is prefered. Religion should be kept private to protect us from cultish structures that destroy anyone that doubts.
>Near Death Experience
The issue is that near-death experiences differ rom culture to culture (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18344255/)) and can be artifically induced. It is also a experience made partly posteriori as memory and mind try to make sense what happened.
>Progress, democracy, freemasonry have driven this world to the brink.
see picture,

You are the post-modernist among us. Just a right-wing one.

>Or are things going to get better?
They are. Corona might have given all a psuh down but if we take a lare look at things and recognize the potential in new things then we can say that the world of tomorrow will be a better one. Not for all, but there will exists a greater degree of prosperity, peace and progress. Especially the latter 21th and the early 22th century will be intersting as we will probably begin space industralization.
