England was
probably the first country to adopt the mindset that led to the
materialisation of consciousness and the present-day attitudes in which God has
no place. It was a pioneer in many areas that formed
the contemporary world. You can't trace this back to any single
formational event or time but Protestantism was certainly one step towards the
separation of the natural and supernatural worlds, and then the English Civil
War was another. One religious, the other political. The fact that
both of these things may have had positive elements to them is beside the
point. The basic truth is that they opened up a gap between the
spiritual and the material which, once opened, could be expanded exponentially
until the point was reached at which the spiritual was so far removed it no
longer existed in any real sense and could just be denied reality. That is now.
Consciousness has effectively contracted to the material which is not just
primary but all there is. This has affected even religion which is largely
earthbound and moribund these days. That contraction may have
been beneficial in some areas, such as the development of
certain qualities of selfhood and the exploration and dominance of
the physical world, but these cannot be said to compensate for the spiritual
loss that has accompanied them.
