What if you were one of those who can't get enough food for themselves and their families and have no hope of climbing out of their despair. Maybe the best thing they can look forward to is dying and leaving their miserable existence.Those really in that situation couldn't care less about god or intellectual debates about the meaning of life. They are too busy with their daily lives.

And the answer will vary depending on religion, and none of those answers will solve their predicament.
They are in that situation because they are too stupid to unite and claim their rights, they have hope in this world provided they can find the courage to face their truth.
