Free and massive daily consumption of pornography since the generalisation of the internet deeply changed the way women and men see each others. Linked with the disapearing of religion and the rise of atheism, it led to people considering each others like material goods, and the disapearing of more complex emotional states of mind. Constant ads everywhere designed by scientists, ''industrial'' psychologists, have for goal to understand how the subconscious mechanisms of the brain and as a result behaviors of men and women work, in order to lure them into buying goods that will increase profits.
Basically remove faith, and all you have are smart animals who see each others only thru dominating/dominated kind of relationships; love doesnt exist anymore and is explained by ''science'' as a basic chemical process.
The soul doesnt exist anymore, and empathy and compassion disapeared with it, and we devolve into machines, animals again. Faith and soul were what separated men from animals.
As the economies will collapse more and more people with no capacity for empathy wont be able to survive, they ll kill each others blindly, only those who have faith will be able to ally and survive with others who share it with them.
