3. It is inevitable, and I have been saying it for a while now.

A population so distinctly split between the sane and the insane, between those who embrace reason and reality and those who categorically and universally reject all reason, reality and science in the name of Iron Age fairy tales cannot coexist in the same body politic over the long term.

I still think Gene Roddenberry posited as plausible a middle-term future as anyone did - planetary catastrophe and/or war that kills about 2/3 of world population, a lengthy reassessment of man's place in relation to the planet and the cosmos, and a radical reordering along atheistic, democratic socialist lines.
