This is what happens when you get rid of, or stigmatize, most of the other traditional ways that people feel meaning in life. They say that church is evil and for the weak-minded, families are patriarchal, you should feel bad about your ancestors (if you are white), love is a lie and should be a transaction if at all. The only things that are promoted are products like apple, and services like pornhub.
When you take away people's ability to have a meaningful life, they'll cling to whatever you give them that makes them feel momentarily like they are part of something. They'll take whatever social movements or "facts" that they can cling to.
Church membership for almost every church in my area has gone up dramatically every few months in the last two years. People crave foundational truths, not "facts" that change every six months.
