And yet in almost every one of those examples the problem was people sticking to the existing religions and culture being too terrified to let go or incapable of accepting that others have moved on.

"The problem with religion is that people won't stop being religious" is circular and thought-terminating

culture being too terrified to let go or incapable of accepting that others have moved on

How do you sooth public anxieties at a national level?

How do you foster egalitarian social habits?

Seems like you'd need some kind of broad social project or moral imperitive for a nation's worth of people to align with.
