If one reads it without the Christian mistranslations and theological interpretations, the bible is actually a 'pagan' book, where it's clear that many gods exist. It's no different from reading other ancient pagan texts.

To be honest, no. Maybe if you're an american who was born in the last 20 years, then yeah, it might seem that way. But if you take an objective look at the world during the last century, the effect disappears. Just from a Western perspective, we've had 2 world wars in the span of 20 years. Now that's what I call hectic!
And after that there was the cold war, with the constant threat of atomic warfare, and the space race, and the sexual revolution, and the collapse of the soviet union, just off the top of my head. Americans had the war in Vietnam, which was a pretty big deal for that generation, although today no-one cares.
In my country, we had communist and fascist terrorism in the 70s, and in the early 90s we had a huge political crisis that led to the demise of the biggest parties and the rise of new ones, including a right-wing party owned by a charismatic businessman (who was demonised by the leftist establishment exactly like what's happening to Trump).
What we're witnessing is simply the culmination of some trends that have been growing for a long while. The social justice warriors are just the latest iteration of cultural marxism, or as some people say, third wave feminism. Feminism has been corrupting our society since the second half of the 19th century, and it's well known that leftism has been dominating the media at least since the 60s. Like all degenerative processes, the effects become more obvious as time goes on, which is why opposition to feminism has grown considerably as of late.
Gamergate is an example of this. It's not like social justice warriors didn't exist before, but gamers were able to ignore them because their hobby hadn't been touched yet. Many MGTOWs and MRAs are people who experienced first hand how insanely anti-male the system has become. Action-reaction. The internet has empowered the cultural minorities. Anti-feminists have always existed, but they had no power and weren't represented in the media. They couldn't organise very effectively because they were too scattered.
I guess what I'm saying is, there's nothing sudden about the recent developments. It actually took a long time for us to get to this point. It's only our ignorance and lack of experience that causes us to be surprised.
