How did you arrive at that conclusion? With the decline of organized religion, could one not suggest that religiosity is very much something people can be without? Or are you referring to already religious people being unsatisfied religiously?

I'm in a very secular country. Non-religious people are... non-religious. I don't believe there is anything that "replaces" religion in most people's lives. If you're not religious, you don't necessarily have metaphysical needs, and I think most people here don't.

Regarding religious people: they meet with eachother in church and other constellations as usual. Nothing is keeping people from practicing their religion, but they can't assume most people will empathize with their views, which is true for many different standpoints in life, not just religion.
