I've been like this for a bit.. where i sort of envy religious people. I'm trying to understand it... Sometimes I envy their belief in an afterlife (though also I believe spiritual nonreligious people can believe in one, too?), their hope... their love. By love I mean... sometimes it feels like .. like they have something to look to, to give them hope or make them feel loved or whatever. Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding idk.

It may seem this way superficially, but in truth, religion does not actually lead to happiness; there are plenty of religious people who are completely miserable.

It may be so that people today feel unhappy and dissatisfied with lives, but this has nothing to do with a lack of faith, or whatever, but with the objective conditions of society itself.
