>I believe we are 500 years into a 10,000 year mini-golden age.
How do you calculate that? IIRC Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya calculates the beginning at 2013, placing us only 9 years in. Is he mistaken, or referring to a different source?
>the polarization between the devotional and the demonic
Will there be two distinct groups of people following these paths? Or is it a mix of both within the individual?

I am looking to the time when Lord Chaitanya arrived on this planet, roughly 500 years ago, which is historically close to the dawn of the The Enlightenment and our modern concept of the scientific process.
>Will there be two distinct groups of people following these paths? Or is it a mix of both within the individual?
I don't know.
My inclination is that it will be mostly within.
However if there is a large enough event to shake up the global zeitgeist enough we may see a re-arranging of nations such that the theist and atheist will group and separate.
I think if that is to happen, it will not be as obvious as 'the good and happy devotees on this side, the mean and ugly atheists over here.'
One can be a theist and still be a nasty person. Buddhists and others can be very nice and happy people in their atheism.
