I have no problem with our government's relationship with religious belief returning to what it was in that long ago age. Maybe if I delve more into it, I may, but I don't think so offhand.
Still, I think I understand where you're coming from, and if I'm correct, I feel your frustration.

Attempting to ascertain what doug is trying to say is tricky, at best. However, if living a life of 150 years ago is one's desire, I have a suggestion. We live about 15 miles from an old order Amish community. My wife and I have good friends in that community, and they are wonderful people who seem extremely happy with their lives. They are apolitical, and live a life that would have been common about 150 years ago. As far as I know, one could join the sect, if they are willing to abide by all the rules, and live a Godly life.
