Interesting bit on the Muskism episode, inspiring stuff. And thanks for getting back to my question in such a detailed way.

Flattered that you read my comment! Ill try to keep my response short as I can. I was an early adopter of social justice politics in US undergrad in the late 2000's. I tried to find an anaology for becoming a zealot then leaving it behind. The alienation of early industrialization in upstate NY triggered a 19th century religious revival (birthing The Millerites and The Mormons). An extreme religious fervor gripped this region, but it seemed to leave as quickly as it came ("burned over districts" on wikipedia). Ive heard that secular humanism/unitarianism trace their lineage to people who fell out of this fervor. Maybe we are the modern equivalent?
