Religions hate this one simple trick:
Humans don’t need hope, meaning, or purpose to experience joy and happiness throughout their lives. None of those things are real anyway and all depend upon someone/something else defining them for you.
“But I was promised joy and happiness in an eternal afterlife if I just believed this fairytale strongly enough!”
Lol. I’ll have joy, happiness, and agency in my life now thank you very much, instead of the promise of it in some imaginary plane of existence I’m just supposed to trust is waiting for me when I die.
Aaaand let the self-soothing mental gymnastics begin.
