What on earth accounts for this powerful resurgence of religious extremism in America? I suspect it is in part a reaction which is being caused by some very deep-seated psychological needs which are going unfulfilled in our modern secular society.

I don’t agree with this at all.

The reason why the religious fanatics are all lathered up is because they’re losing power over the lives of other people, and they’re becoming increasingly desperate to regain that power.
