"The Demon-Haunted World" has been defined in more current sources as something which is still relevant. An article written through "The Guardian" from 2012, suggests the still current relevance of "The Demon-Haunted World". Another article from The Verge in 2017 also supports this relevance. The latter article writes about a disconnect between what is proven by science to be the best answer and what is chosen to be done by governmental bodies. Carl Sagan covers this concept as a prominent issue in his book written in 1995, and this article outlines it as a problem which is still occurring at the time the article was written.
