"Religion is expanding and more people apply their religion to their everyday lives."

That's a hard thing to pin down. One recent survey disagrees. It may be that many people are applying religious principles without strict adherence to a belief system.
I know that the polarization has been more obvious recently, and a number of issues have caused more confrontation in various cultures. I would not personally make any claims about an overall trend yet. It's easier to predict trends in climate change.

(That survey has been quoted and discussed on many different sites recently)
