Theological materialism brings the cultural fields into material/supermaterial religious philosophy

New religion and philosophy does seem to grow in times of trouble, with fear of the collapse of society, or fear of the collapse of the foundational old order, such as Thomas Aquinas synthesizing the rising superior Aristotelian philosophy with the principles of Christian philosophy, Burke developing conservatism when threatened by the French revolution, Teilhard de Chardin trying to bring evolution into Christianity, Raymond Cattell and his religion from science, or the cultural Marxism in the chaos of 1960's.

But Teilhard retained the same spiritual God at the zenith of his evolution, Cattell wasn't much interested in synthesizing old religions, the conservative philosophers virtually ignored material evolution, as did the cultural Marxists. Theological materialism doesn't do those things.

The deepest reading of the revealed religions centers on an Inward God not an Outward God, which is limiting. The Inward God is the image or blissful experience of the Outward God (opposite Plato), but outward Godhood exists as a supreme supermaterial living object, or objects, evolved to in material nature. Both Paths are contained within the Twofold Path of theological materialism.  

Evolution is a natural fact but this does not preclude Gods in the universe. Godhood emerges from evolution shaped by outside selection, activated from within. Theological materialism brings the cultural fields into material/supermaterial religious philosophy at a time of the collapsing of the foundational old order.
