What happened here in Europe apparently didn't happen in your part of the world (?), which is known here as the Age of Enlightenment.
It didn't happen in my part of the world, but did happen in the history of Muslims. Particularly, Turkey had a great impact of it. In their attempt to prove themselves secular and being proud of their national identity, they went even against the basic rules of the religion. They were trying to be enlightened as the other parts of the Europe and the consequence was the loss of their religion.
So far as my part of the world is concerned, there is nothing to be proud of. I cringe looking at the mind-set and practices, here. We do not question the existence of God via our words,but our actions do. We do exact opposite of the teachings but we have got a false pride of being the chosen people by the God (as Muslims).
Since we have been dealing with the tendency of a decreasing belief in God for about three hundred years, but nothing is able to fill the resulting void,
The void can never be filled by anything. We have got something superior to material that gives us life. No philosophy can quench the spiritual thirst of our spirits.
Everything becomes a cult: science itself, the subjective existence of the individual, the academic world and especially its faculties of sociology and anthropology, for example.
It is because we are lacking the holistic view of all the things. Everyone has a perspective which they feel the best. Every aspect lacks several other things. And the truth is, God is the being who bind all of them together. To make sense of many things, we need to believe on a Supreme power.
I don't know what has happened in Christianity over time but with Islam it has happened that our religious leaders have played a great role in kicking people away from seeing the holisti view of things given in Qur'an.
When people don't get the answers for their modern life's situations they try finding the other places for an explanation.
Human individual existence loses its stability by being confronted with too many facts, which makes navigation through life almost impossible if you are not having the self discipline to know yourself well. Which is said to happen through faith in God and through practising the religious teachings.
Agreed 💯
