what if instead of laughing at these people, rational people reached out to them - like their pastors claim to be doing, and open their minds a bit. stable rational people could be helping these deluded frightened meek people and empowering them to take responsibility for their own lives.

I think that a Dark Age eventually will come, sooner or later.
I am a strong believer of the theory that mankind will end by slow regression and decay and that we will end up like feral creatures that each other until one different species will take our place. But i doubt that religion will be the direct cause of it.
Humans have the tendency to self annihilate, kill each other and act aganst their own development, so if we took religion away, they would just find a different cult to justify their lack of direction, fear of the unknown and need to segregate.
I think that trying to help people evolve is an idealistic exercise in futility. People have evolved enough already.
