Hello David,
The fact remains that churches and organised religion are in decline. There is nothing that can be done to reverse it because the world is evolving away from it, as it is from monolithic centralised goverments. However, that is not to say that 'God' is not actively involved here. It is. But it needs considerable research and understanding to come to the realisation that 'God' is The Cosmic Energy which is everywhere and is not the preserve of one single religion but all of them and none. Perhaps people are becoming aware that the Cosmic Energy is around them and in them, so they do not feel the need for a 'middleman' anymore.
Your comment about consciousness is a timely one. I have been reading about the experiences of Karl Jung, and am toying with the idea of buying the complete Red Book but the expense is putting me off! I have also noticed that 3 NDEs from other sources also mention a Temple of Wisdom and a Great Memory which records everything, perhaps via morphic resonance. I think we are coming close to the dawn of a new Golden Age, in which science will start to get to grips with these things.
Best wishes,
Paul
