One could speculate that the gradual increase in corruption, sense of meaninglessness, cynicism, loneliness, mental illness, etc. in NA may be related in part to the lessening of the positive impact of religion on society.

Sorry man, but the corruption of society is being led by the moral high ground you claim they are standing on. Your "positive aspects of moral reform" are another's repressive tactics that divide society and work against equality. The Pope and his minions can't even offer a position of equality for all, and they are somehow held as a moral authority? Ridiculous. Do you see how that is ridiculous?
I think you need to reevaluate from the vision of perfectionism you have in your head vs the reality of what is actually out there. Because most religions and religious people don't follow(or even give a #### beyond lip service) the high moral standings they claim to be bound by.
