@walterkirn What is being referred to with the movement that saved many lives?

Reading some of Jung's last essays from the 1950s. One conclusion he reached is that religious beliefs, or political beliefs that amounted to religious ones, can only be countered by other religious beliefs. It's likely to me that in the mid 20th century contest of ideas, of liberalism versus authoritarianism, the west sought to fashion a new religion with scientific, universalist qualities. It well could be that what I've come to call "the UFO thing" played a role in this. Jung himself performed an able analysis of its deep psychic appeal. I doubt this analysis went unnoticed by the self-styled civilizational engineers.
