Also how do we know about the laws of physics apart from what scientists have told us? They could have it all wrong but there theories just coincidently fit in with results at the moment. People thought the world was flat at one point.

I truly believe what you have just stated is the reason for this somewhat sudden mass shift away from secular belief. I think 9/11 really demonstrated to the Western public just how much damage fanatic support of a religion can lead to.
When you watch movies from 20, even 10 years ago, there seems to be alot more closer ties with Christianity. Even in Ghostbusters, the contents of the Bible is mentioned, and how this may be what is happening with all the ghosts being released. As well as the mayor of New York City in the movie seeking the council of the arch-bishop on what to make of the matter. I really doubt youd see that in a movie now.
