I mean, without any expertise to offer, radical/reactionary/non-mainstream/whatever belief systems that make people into zealots are not good for society in the long run.  They can provide a fervor for a colonist generation or they can ignite a spark of revolution, but they're unstable and dangerous as far as stability and long term prosperity are concerned.  I would imagine that as the Colonies grew and more of a complex/industrial economic infrastructure became tied to their well-being, it was easier to convince more and more people to chill out a bit ... first of all, economic elites (who would be doing the convincing anyway, here).
