Dude, for last 200 year or so religion is on decline ( politically) but yet we have seen millions of deaths and suffering and the problem is people are stuck in religious vs science debate ( which is not an issue) or protestant movement
other than materialistic improving can rational secular person focus on western values which are prevalent and how its affecting us socially and individually , try to find a better more sustainable way of life, do not see them finding ( and uniting on) any thing but just stuck in a narrative that religion is bad and that is causing all the modern day problems , which is not
.
Also west keep poking in other stable societies and leave it in more unstable and destructive form, how can one stop doing or how secular person justify it when they are also sell into the idea by popular media and so many other way ( this is called deception , say some thing and do some thin, religion does not do it) , its fine if secular mind wants to live like Mongols but than do not preach liberal and human right values
morally, in every major religion alcohol is prohibited and we know it cause domestic violence and child abuse, .. than why rules cannot be made against it how does a rational secular mind justifis, it, freedom or majority deciding what is right? but do not see the what is wrong ( how I see it as making people unaware of pursuing higher ideals rather keep them busy in drug, entertainment, sports , sex, hustling to keep the end meet... while elites do how ever they want)
