The original Progressives in America were upfront about desiring to build a Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, the Marxists were pretending to do a secular science but it's the same story, the proletariat wins the Grand Battle (because God History is on their side) and eliminates sin so the Kingdom of Heaven begins. So while the openly spoken of religion has dissipated in much of the "Left" (though many politicians like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama openly speak of their learning from the tradition of Reinhold Niebuhr) the overarching narrative remains even among the Internet Atheist set. The problem is that it hasn't held up against the actual history of reality since the end of World War II: everything's gotten better.
Thankfully, insisting that you'll be right eventually has never failed humans yet.
