After old philosophy, came several centuries of war and monotheism. This dark age gave wrong explanations to several important questions. Once Renaissance rediscovered old philosophy, then came back the strategies to formulate questions relevantly and avoid wrong answers. From there, monotheism was doomed. And eventually, rationalism was on its way to success.
Nowadays, old philosophy and rationalism are considered too complex and abstract. We are coming back to simple (wrong) answers: monotheism and war (and I would add propaganda). The difference with the previous dark ages is that nowadays old philosophy is still widely available. Just that no one considers it as a way to ask good questions and never be fooled by wrong answers.
