I don't know if anyone else remembers but religion and especially christians got completely shat on relentlessly back then. Both offline and online. On any topic remotely religious there would be top comments with hundreds of likes heavily criticising religion. This seemed to have died down somewhere in the mid 10s which explains why trump was able to get elected. I'm not making a statement or anything, just a neutral observation.

Back then you'd rarely find it being talked about in a positive light outside of actual religious or christian spaces. Nowadays it's not "cool" to hate on religion anymore.

Gay marriage was legalized and it stirred up a hornet's nest. That happened in 2015. And now Christianity is all-encompassing and has the most influence on culture (at least in the USA) since at least the 1980s if not the 1950s. I miss how it was during the first half of the 2010s.

Fundamentalist Christians aren't able to see how privileged they are, especially in the 2020s when they can literally try to overthrow the government and get away with it, since they believe anybody, anywhere not following their rules to their liking is "persecution."

Christianity having the most influence in the current we are in not rooted in reality imo, if you feel otherwise please prove with exact references. Christianity was massive before the 1950s and for centuries prior and more conservative at various plaves points in the past prior to the 1950s. Mainstream American conservative leaning Christianity had some influence in recent culture in the 2000s on the basis of more people identifying or holding on to religious beliefs, classic conversativism and religious neo cons being bigger and more popular, more religious boomers in the media, a call for mass censorship on things like goths, emo, heavy metal and violent hip hop and games and books like Harry Potter coming from Christian groups, and debates over what was acceptable or wrong seemed Christian influenced to a greater degree than today.

I think it's true for the USA, but not necessarily for other countries. Those religious boomers who you mention dominated the media in the 2000s now dominate the Internet and social media. This feels a lot like the 2000s except the gloves are off and the fundies are no longer attempting to be civil. Abortion is likely going to be banned in the USA or at least parts of it this year. Gay marriage is next as are sodomy laws and the pill. The 1950s was particularly significant when discussing separation of church and state because there was a coordinated effort that decade to enshrine Christianity as America's national religion in response to the Cold War and the "godless" Soviets. That's why we ended up with "Under God" in the pledge and "In God We Trust" as the national motto. The 2020s is similar and that there's heavily religious sentiment right now in response to the perceived moral decline of society. The 1/6 insurrection has so far gone unpunished and unless something changes, Trump will reclaim power in 2025. That should be the only reference necessary to show how powerful fundamentalist Christianity is in the 2020s.

Religious boomers do not dominate the internet or social media, liberal culture does (Google, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter) all run by liberals with liberal/left leaning outlooks/policies , you can include most of Hollywood and the music industry with that, populist right is not heavy as on religion like older conservatives and are liberal in a few ways, so what you are saying is an extreme exaggeration, also they are merely a visible part of internet opposed to the mid 2010s when it wasn’t a visible, a good portion of populists right and right leaning boomers and silent gen will die naturally within the next 5-15 years decreasing their dying influence. There’s no serious evidence that forward thinking cosmopolitan states or the majority of states nation wide will regress nation wide with anti sex before marriages policies, anti pill, anti gay or anti abortion policies, it seems like paranoia or conspiracy theory.
