I can see where you're coming from OP. I think people generally have a need for a focus and a sense of community. In the absence of religion the focus is often unhealthy things and community is absent (leading to loneliness/unhappiness) or online (which can be unhealthy depending on the online community).

I'd hazard a guess that more people have died in the name of religion than any of those 3 things..
