It is said we are created to have a God. When we don't know him, we make other things our God. Career, aquisition of things, people, relationships, another person, sport, substances.

What you invest time in, you worship.

It is actually mostly my left-wing friends who suggest that the abolishing of religion is promoted by capitalism to make people unhappy, so they consume more in a kind of chronic depression buy.
[/QUOTE]True. Consumerist advertising constantly emphasises our "need" for various products.
