The Functionality and Terrified Move towards Religion

The current problem is that existing religions are no longer viable for many people, leading to a sense of disconnection and a need for a religion-like solution. This need arises because religion provides the functionality of a meta meaning system and a stable ground for all other meaning systems. However, the terror of moving towards religion is fueled by historical and cultural reasons, as well as the traumatic experiences with pseudo religious ideologies like communism and fascism. The dilemma is that the existing religions don't form a viable place for people, and the secular alternatives to religion are not effective. Thus, the meaning crisis highlights the desperate need for the functionality of religion and the simultaneous fear of moving towards it, with the question arising about whether the ethical framework or the implied community of religion is what provides the good in this context.
