Seems like this is seeping into religion in a big way. I mean religion is meant to be one of those things that forces people to look beyond the end of their own life to consider the state of the society in the long term. Not so much nowdays.
With the prevalence of science and technology, and an increasingly complex society, many seem to have fallen back on Christian millenarianism; a sense that all of these problems will disappear with the second coming of Christ. It's common in the Seventh Day Adventists and the Jehovah's Witnesses but there seems to be an undercurrent of it throughout many other Christian groups.
