For Eliade, the more modern nonreligious people reject the sacred and the transcendent, the more acute their alienation from self and reality becomes, which brings with it an increasing sense of existential anxiety.

f this trend continues, modern nonreligious culture may be headed for a crisis in which it no longer sees a call to higher principles, virtues, ideals, dignity, and destiny – progressively losing its sense of hope in a positive future, leaving its participants in a state of moral and metaphysical alienation, emptiness, and superficiality – reduced to “little worlds of materialism, autonomy, and self-indulgence.”

Quote
Twentieth-century existentialist philosophers like Sartre and Camus argued that unless God exists, life has no objective meaning, value, or purpose. It only has subjective meaning, value, and purpose. Interestingly, neither Sartre nor Camus believed in God!
