Ive been thinking along these lines as well. How do we get there?
I think we also need a lot more study of religion and spiritual ideas to identify useful methods to teach philosophical/moral/psychological systems through scripture/rituals etc. There are many low-hanging fruit. Meditation is one such concept that has only recently become scientifically accepted in the west. Once it was well-researched it moved from 'alternative' to 'mainstream.' Most modern people are very skeptical of unstudied practices. In the same way we can re-frame behaviors such as 'prayer' and 'rituals' so they are not dismissed by a skeptical audience.
