They need you to be miserable & unfulfilled & feel a sense of meaninglessness, so they can reassure themselves they have the meaning of life
-
This is one of the problems with religion. There can only be one meaning to ascribe to your life & ppl with different ones are a threat.

Deeply held religious belief, obv. Most ppl who believe in 'God' see the same meanings in life as everyone else - love, family, passions.
-
But I get this a lot: Ur life is meaningless &miserable w/out God! Not so much... U just think ur happy! Is that different to being happy?
-
People who make God-beliefs the source of meaning in their lives can't acknowledge that this is subjective. It must be the only meaning.
-
You don't see this in ppl who acknowledge the subjective nature of meaning. They can empathise with ppl being passionate abt other things.
-
You don't see passionate physicists insisting non-physicists admit their lives are devoid of all meaning & fulfillment.
-
Believers take all good & meaningful things in life & ascribe them to 'God' so they can't see how life w/out 'God' can be good or meaningful
-
This is the thesis of Everybody is Wrong about God, btw, & Eve demonstrated it beautifully today. You should definitely read it.

No, some might think that as well (tho that would be extremely hypocritical) but they have real problem with non-relig meaning

Meaning must be about God. Why wld anyone rage that mine is abt my family & religious history?
-
Because it is subversive to their beliefs

In US people form local churches and go there primarily as a form of social and community organization, to do charitable work.
