That must be situational. In my circle of family and friends, religion is still extremely powerful. Even to the point where I demur when the topic of religion even looks like it could be discussed. I "pray" right along with everyone else at the dinner table at family gatherings.
And even on a national stage -- how many politicians will admit to being non-religious? There is still a tremendous amount of social power from the right.

You sound like me with my Woke extended family :)
Of course the influence of one's community will always be powerful. What's novel about the present situation is how much a bunch of randos on the internet can ruin your life.

So perhaps not totally gone, but it's influence is greatly diminished from where it was a generation ago.
