**The Return of Religious Participation in Modern Society in other ways. **

There is a noticeable resurgence of religious participation manifesting through various modern ideologies and practices, including 'woke' ideology, environmentalism, state worship, and AI veneration. Individuals are increasingly seeking frameworks that transcend rationality, enabling them to find coherence and alignment with collective purposes. This yearning for meaning often results in celebratory practices that take on religious characteristics, as people gravitate toward what they celebrate and hold in highest regard. The emergence of alternative celebrations like Earth Day and LGBTQ+ Month illustrates a re-infusion of religiosity in contemporary culture. The traditional Enlightenment model, which promotes rational individualism, is proving inadequate as it has led to societal fragmentation, isolation, and a lack of community, contributing to widespread feelings of depression and dissatisfaction. Consequently, people are in search of deeper, more fulfilling connections and may turn toward various religious or quasi-religious movements. While there are numerous possible paths forward, Christianity is proposed as a potential means for preserving the positive achievements of the Enlightenment while addressing the existential needs of individuals in modern society.
