Politics, economics, and religion were one in the embedded religions of ancient times, like the Greek and Roman religion or Mesopotamian and Northern European religions, and even in the middle ages with Catholic scholasticism. Then came the specialties which split the total world view and made the renaissance man and the total world view obsolete.
Theological materialism
presents an all-inclusive total religion more or less placed in the
worldview of philosophical naturalism with the difference being that
philosophical naturalism is generally irreligious, and theological
materialism is religious in seeing Godhood as the goal of material
evolution, first mirrored in the Father-Within of traditional
religion.
God or Godhood can also be defined by physics and philosophical naturalism. Causality is part of science, but causality is also part of religion in that physical events have prior causes that can be explained by the same thing in religion or science. An organism obeys the laws of physics. Life, consciousnesses, motivations, etc. can be explained both scientifically and religiously as caused by the same activation of the material/supermaterial drive within life, which I have called Tirips, which works along with outside natural selection and evolution---religion can join science and science can join religion.
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), and outward Godhood can exist as a supreme supermaterial living object, or objects, evolved to in material nature. Both Paths are contained within the Twofold Path of theological materialism. Godhood is not an immaterial entity, as it is with Aristotle, Aquinas and even Darwin.
This means that nature encompasses the activity of Tirips and Godhood, as well as everything that exists in space and time, and all of this consists of natural elements, including ideas and mathematics---and they all operate by the laws of physics, discovered and yet to be discovered. Ascending levels of Godhood are in nature, Godhood can be evolved to at the zenith of evolved nature. Godhood is not immaterial but is supermaterial.
We may gradually realize the reality that multicultural multi-ethnic societies just don't work. The coming century could be the century of the rise of ethnostatism. The kindness, mercy, compassion, or humaneness of ethnostates will be understood as being in harmony with the biological origin of social behavior, and in accord with human nature, which is biologically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.
Although
now just rising, identity politics will continue to ascend,
re-identifying with ethnicity, nationality, race, culture and faith
is the world's future. People will see that racial and ethnic
diversity within the same state is not our greatest strength but is
our weakness. A true natural rights or civil rights movement would
promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black,
white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from
marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists,
etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of
ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with
our constitutional separation of powers and states.
Then we can all get on with evolving toward Godhood.
