Agreed. But as long as there's remnants of the 'old guard' that firmly believes (or mouths the beliefs) of a particular extremist belief system in power, we're in for a rocky haul. And I gave up on the 'we'll outlive them someday' mindset for the very simple reason that they breed too, and are teaching their own kin the same thing. So short of all out removal of said bloodlines (which is not really something to consider. Revolution is one thing; genocide/culling another), we're in for an ugly fight. Also, Clue has a point above, and I hate to say it, but it's too entirely likely.
Also, poor, frightened, and uneducated masses are easier to control...and set against each other when unrest starts to erupt.
