What's the guarantee you won't? Simple guarantee. US is not financing me nor is she training, supporting or sponsoring me! I dont think I can do it by myself. I cant even convince my wife to see things my way. Being a non-believer in religion (thats been the game for hundreds of years), it would be tough to convince other non-believers to follow me!! Can you? (and dont tell me you wont, the question is CAN YOU?). What happened was a one time occurrence and will not be repeated for decades, if at all. But the only grounds where something like that can be concieved is where people are living a miserable life, are brainwashed from birth as to the cause of their misery, have no better alternative to turn to and have an icon to believe in. The only icons in the past few centuries have been Christ and Allah for whom crusades and Jihads have been fought. Crusades have mellowed down as the lives of most christians have improved to a point where it would be very difficult for anyone to cause them to give up their life for religion. The same is not true for muslims. So the possibility remains.
