Hmm I think religion can come and go... back in Ancient Greece you had various philosophers who mocked the gods and thought they were better believing in an impersonal, spiritual reality or in none at all. Then along came Christianity, and it changed the religious landscape. And now, for centuries, we've gotten more irreligious again. But that could change again if modern civilization were to collapse people would become more religious again, I think..
There's different religions and spiritual paths depending on how society/civilization looks..
These days, in a very urbanized, individualist world people unsurprisingly emphasize the Self..
I wouldn't say atheists are necessarily ''arrogant''. They make less assumptions, a lack of belief is not the same as a belief..
