Go speak to your trusted advisor in whatever faith you prescribe.

If you don't have a priest/rabbi/something like that then talk to the person who shares your beliefs that you most admire and is good an communicating with you.

Someone you would listen to.

If all that is something you have no interest in then try this: When was the last time you laughed? Go watch a killer standup comedy and laugh your brains out. Works wonders.
This is sound advice indeed,as the world grows (thankfully) more secular, we will see a hardening of the old cadre trying to justify their existence into a world that is more and more alien to them.

One of the takes for the future I gave a passing nod , was the one spoused in the chinese sci fi novel Three Body Problem, that will soon have its own series, about how in the future, we will see a culture so distant from what is the norm now that they have to literally keep people from the past frozen to deal with certain problems that futuristic societies wont know how to deal with.

There was even a very old Twilight Zone (1980s version) chapter that more or less also proposed that certain societies in the future will need due to a variety of reasons, people from ages past as their uniquely skewed view of reality is needed to solve certain problems in post-scarcity worlds.

I believe we are on that particular point in time where as humanity we need better values than the ones spoused by old religions and previous to post-postmodernist philosophies.

Any philosophy that is not rooted in the new soon to be normal of the Post-Postmodernism mindset is simply too old to deal with the rapid advances in technology and growing luddite behavior of some reactionary groups that with the lack of better alternatives fall back into old tropes of thought no longer relevant.
