Most of that is due to ignorance, which give way to confusion. They don't know what to believe, and they blindly grope for those things that are edgy, trendy, new, etc... But they don't really know why they believe what they believe. It's quite sad.
I think many of us here would think that you too do not know what to believe. But everyone in your sphere is going with God so you get the impression that you're on the right path, forgetting just how truly ignorant and confused you are too.
Tried to fix your quotes but what a mess!

This century is trying to redefine every word from their original definitions. And what do atheists do, they just look up current dictionaries, and think they understood a long tradition and understanding of a word.
Everyone has that which is necessary to make meaning and find purpose in life. Not everyone draws on what is commonly known as "religion". If you mean to redefine religion as "whatever one uses to make meaning and find purpose in life", then of course you would be correct even though you would have said nothing at all.
