“whilst out of priesthood detaches science”

So, applying this concept to the present day, could you say that the distrust of the science by a significant number of the general public is bringing about a renewed interest in religion (from which it detached)—or at least a more transcendent view of our existence?

This rejection of the scientific view of reality, at least that promulgated by what appears to be a religious cult (CVD), is therefore bringing about a reversal of the trajectory that had hitherto held.

What do you think that will do to the foundations of the third estate?

Bingooo, Materialism is unsustainable according to Spengler, mainly because it is too high tension and results in spiritual nihilism of sorts, so first the return to religion manifests as toying around sentimentally with religious ideas, before, typically corresponding to the rise of caesarism, the second religiousness brings in a kind of syncretic religious attitude.
