Those who now want the main religions abolished are the Western oligarchs who don't control transcendental religious narrative: such as the "liberal" atheist ones. Hence the post-Marxist-Liberal alliance in the media such as Guardian, NYT, Economist, BBC etc.
"monotheistic religions were a compromise between myth and history, between cyclical time which still dominated production and irreversible time where populations clash and regroup."--the modern spectacle of pseudo-cyclical time abolishes the temporality of traditional religion

The problem with that analysis is that traditional religion is neither cyclical nor temporal: it is or claims to be perennial, eternal. "Unto the ages of ages". etc.

"Eternity came out of cyclical time & is beyond it. Eternity is the element which holds back the irreversibility of time, suppressing history within history by placing itself on the other side of irreversible time. Bossuet: by means of the time that passes we enter into eternity"
