The vacuum left by the decline of religion has been filled by the Internet, and why not? After all, facts, science, proof and considered opinions are 'difficult' they take education, thought, reason, the ability to discuss tough topics in the abstract, why bother actually thinking when you can go online? There you can find other folk that believe what you believe (without any basis in fact and untroubled by a moral compass) and you can gather on a platform from which you hoist your flag and shout your own horse shít variant. Argue all you like but the age of reason has gone, history and facts are there but they need reading, engaging with, as does any subject, to understand and comprehend where we currently are but with the infinitely pliable echo chamber of the Internet as an alternative to books, learning and understanding... well, we haven't got a chance.
