Mhm. Tough times drive you to a strong trust in whatever authority you think can keep you safe. The Church, the State, the Academy, the Army, your Tribe etc. I can only speculate that a person who truly believes nothing can save them will be driven into profound despair, limping along between sessions of something like excessive fantasy or drug use to cope.
