Redirecting Religious Zeal

Secularism lacks a reference point beyond the immediate, positioning humanity as the highest authority. This absence of divine orientation triggers human longing for meaning, which is manifest in the redirection of religious fervor towards alternative domains such as politics, sexuality, and career. Individuals, particularly those who leave organized religion, often transfer their zeal and commitment to these secular pursuits, resulting in the construction of a reality that seeks significance in the present age, rather than the divine.
