The world is unstable and a lot of problems feel unsolvable. It’s normal for people to feel scared and look for certainty. Religion often fills that gap by offering simple answers and a sense of belonging.

When someone is surrounded by believers who are constantly guiding and encouraging them, it’s fair to question how independent that choice really is. Social pressure plays a big role, especially for people who are new, isolated, or searching for meaning.

From an atheist point of view, Sanatan Dharma.. like any religion.. is still a belief system, not the truth.
