This is the result of 'science' and technology being used to fill the void that religion used to fill in people's lives.

No it isn’t.

It’s the result of the rejection of science and logic by a philosophy that views them as tools of the male, white, western hegemony. The creep of postmodern philosophy and critical studies has brought us this shit show, it’s nothing to do with there not being enough Jesus.

Normies are utterly unequipped to deal with rogue “experts”, they are used to experts describing reality and so when “experts” describe fantasy as reality, normies have an aneurysm and go along with it. The push to encourage greater College and university attendance has some blame too, as a lot of sub-par intellects ended up in academia.

I didn't say Jesus.

You know they meant religion in general

You guys both missed my point.

I think what they meant isn't that they should find religion, but that the natural tendency of all people to subscribe to some sort of higher belief/metaphysical truth about the world has projected itself onto the sciences in absence of where it would usually go. Now we find people "believing" in the faith of a hypothetical magic science the way they used to a god or gods. It's not far from what you said. Your observation is simply how they negotiate the sophistry of discarding the hard truths of science.
