Saving religion and conservatism from rootless consumerism and rootless religion

Unlike Conservative Inc., paleoconservative's rightly believe that without religious tradition, individualism, the free enterprise economy, and democratic capitalist ideology become what we have today in the West: rootless consumerism open to leftist degeneration. But the religious tradition grounded in spiritualism, in its monastic esoteric essence, is as rootless as rootless consumerism. Given Christ's edict to reject the desires of the flesh in a bid to experience the God Within, traditional religions at their essence barely tolerate materialism in any form. But without material evolution, which is the real religious vehicle of our material evolution toward Godhood, religion becomes as rootless as rootless consumerism.

We can indeed immanentize the eschaton, attain Godhood directly within nature and evolution, when we affirm that evolution moves inevitably in a pattern, even though it has its random elements, and the pattern has a discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and retreat, toward higher and higher more effective living forms, all the way toward ascending levels of Godhood. In theological materialism, religion and science can legitimately unite with the deepest roots needed to save religion and conservatism from rootless consumerism and rootless religion.
