There's no doubt in my mine at least, that having a Deity in one's life does help fill the void somewhat.

People also need hope that life in the future will be better than what they have now. Unfortunately, for way too many people the best life they will ever have is the life of a child at home. Everything goes south real fast after they become adults and have to leave home.

The Nation State and the system of management (government) that manages the needs of the Nation State and We the People has failed miserably and this has sucked all hope of a better future for our young people out of their souls. One needs a college education to gain mean full employment yet after college, if one is lucky, will get a job as a cashier somewhere with a $200,000+ education bill. For those who have placed their full faith in a system of management and political party rather than a Deity of some sort the future looks even more bleak. It�s no wonder that so many people have turned to extreme drugs to fill the void. It�s human nature to need something greater than ourselves to believe in and a challenge to make us feel a real worth in our lives. In other words, liberty and freedom.
