I'm all for striving to produce the accomplishments we have made over time that have improved our lives in so many ways. I'm no flat earther and put a lot of trust in science for improving our lives and finding facts. The problem is that we're terribly unhappy and unfulfilled. In the US, teenagers are committing suicide at increasing rates. People are using drugs at increasing rates in order to escape this "wonderful" life which those great individuals have provided for us. Evil and mentally ill people are shooting others just "because". People are killing themselves working long hours at strenuous jobs just to make more money to buy more things that don't do anything to help resolve that inner yearning for meaning. And this is all we have?I 100% agree with what you said....

Existence isn't complete without the inclusion of the spiritual realm.....but this is a complete non-sequitur: "Life sucks, therefore god". Really? Sorry, this is wishful thinking. I dont object to you looking to solve problems with the societies we live in, but "god is the solution" is a very bold claim.

The universe exists for a reason.Sorry, but this is just more wishful thinking. We dont know how or "why" the universe came into being, and so do you. Stop pretending you knew or that pretending to know is a virtue!
Now is the moment when you start telling us how you make your own life have meaning.
If you think the universe exists for a reason, please demonstrate. Oterwise its a bald faced assertion. Making bald faced assertions wont save any problems!
...and am not even adressing how morally bancrupt most of the (at least abrahamic) religion is. I wouldnt want to live in a society inspired by biblical morality, no matter what kind of flavour.
