Traditional religious may be feeling a decline, but religion as a trait, the unquestioning faith and zeal, has not gone anywhere. For examples, look at the modern political movements.

I completely agree with this, and it is an under-rated and under-investigated idea.
This is the main reason I'm often bothered by lack of nuance and sometimes outright 'religious' anti-religious sentiment I find in 'rational' circles.
Dismissing religion as some kind of overpowered source of evil, even in the unlikely case that this might be true, strikes me as a waste of some very valuable lessons in human behavior.
