How does science fill the void that has caused so many people to be totally detached from society-- having no friends, no spouse, the only reasons to leave the house are work and groceries. There are practically epidemic levels of depressed people who feel disconnected from society
- krapp 4y agoThe world is full of non-religious people who don't experience this "void," and even more religious people who do. So you should rather be asking why religion has failed to fill it.
- tsol 4y agoThat's just.. not true. It's mostly a first world problem, I don't see how it's mostly religious people. The third world still tends to have very strong communities. It's the first world where it's common to have shut ins that don't know how to interact with others because there are few organic channels to socialize with strangers
- namero999 4y agoCitation needed kind of comment. The Void you refer to boils down to meaning. Whether you like it or not, religion is precisely meant to fill that void: religion means re-legare, to bind together in a coherent whole.
