Your own declaration of success seems premature. We still haven't yet seen the full effects of post-religious societies.

Because, enlightment or not, there are no post-religious societies.

What we did see, plenty, is the effect of highly religious societies, and it ain't pretty when religion and politics aren't seperated. And we see the first nascent examples of religious nationalism in India, which isn't pretty neither.

If there are no post-religious societies, what makes you sure there can be post-religious politics?
