Worship the math that runs everything - God's laws. Obey the math that adds up to life. Don't worship rocks, etc. Do what adds up to life, because that directly reflects the code that never dies.
It's important to transition successfully into the next era. So, no, caring about the right ideas is not out dated. I think that it'd be better to do it as a computer programmer. Teach robots, etc.
(As an aside, those who say that religion's era is over are correct, but we did not throw out good genetics when the era of ideas arrived. So, likewise, we do intend - I hope - for robots to be operating in accordance with the right ideas. AI could be a disaster otherwise! Swim upstream!)
