I agree with Rabbi Shmuley but i also think we will be credited for being a very ignorant towards beliefs of religion.

I agree - good people trying to do the right thing. I appreciate Rabbi Schmuly's ability to see the health that is present.

However, I also think we will be remembered for living in many ways from fear and a limited self-interest (not understanding that other's well-being improves my well-being). Thus, we have lived much from our reptilian instincts. But I also think it likely that ultimately our human capacity to hope and imagine a different future could lead to the welfare of people/planet prevailing over the drive for material or monetary profits, ultimately leading to a much wealthier global society. In this case, we will also be remembered as quite courageous, for the destructive pressures of this time are great.
