Well. Ill push back on that. The decline of western religion is directly related to it;s lack of pragmatic implications. Just a short while ago agriculturalists were praying to jesus for rain and that prayer was life or death to the people involved.
The decoupling of religious and pragmatic truth has been devastating for religion. They were once assumed to be the same. People had long turned to the gods to stop their pain and to enable the natural preconditions of their way of life. Insomuch as there are now alternatives that the religious themselves believe to be more credible - that sets up a conflict.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
