   That is easy to answer. Between those seeking as you said  - "personal"   
   sort of faith - sooner or later some of them will establish direct   
   connection with "higher spiritual realm" and consequently gain true   
   Power and Insight. That will (not so slowly) change mankind and push it   
   to next Golden Age. All those preaching war and trying to change people   
   into a herd of sheep (not capable of thinking for themselves) will   
   perish, their bodies will be destroyed and their souls sent to hell.   
   That include all idiots and criminals, and yes in particular also Trump   
   and most so called "trumpees" (all those who support something even when   
   their inner sense tell them it is wrong). It is worth noting that what   
   is currently happening in US is part of a pattern and it did happen   
   before. When a civilization thrives and make advance people tend to   
   become "generous" with criminals and idiots (like removing death penalty   
   or providing food and shelter for those not capable of doing that for   
   themselves). The consequences of those noble behavior are that all those   
   criminals and idiots reproduce and change population to the point where   
   those corrupt find large enough pool of idiots to manipulate and affect   
   the system (how things are run). Usually that finish with the end of   
   that civilization, rarely it could be prevented by cutting the ballast .
