The need to belief and religion
Question: In rich countries where the income average is high and there are all means of good life, entertainment and luxury, man doesn’t feel he needs religion or believing in God, what can urge man to look for God or be religious at those countries?

Question: What does man need in the west in addition to scientific progress that gives him all his needs?
In rich countries where people find all the needs of tangible life, man feels psychological troubles, impatience, there are many psychological diseases and there are many suicide accidents. Statistics show that the richest countries are the Scandinavian countries, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, they have the most suicide average in the world, and this is because man is dual configuration. Everything in those countries is just to satisfy the needs of the body but there is nothing to satisfy the heart, the feelings or the soul. This only comes by religion and believing in God, believing in God gives confidence to the soul, tranquility to the heart, expands the breast, belief makes the spirit gets higher and inspire the body to be satisfied with God and feel His support, His guidance and His care, this is the equilibrium or the evenness to man, God says about this in the Koran:
“Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions” Surat An’nahl, Verse 97

 
Well, a person may not feel like they need God because of all the materialistic things he/she has. The person gets blinded. However, there are many spiritual/religious people living in the rich nations. Although not all of them would bow down to God in a monotheistic, religious sense, but many are engaged in various other forms of worship of their understanding of God. New Age is big and seems to be creeping in on Western Christians, Jews and Muslims. For example, just recently I had a Muslim state "we are God's children." Another Jewish person talked about "Godess" instead of "G!d." Yet another Christian lady talked about an altar with "healing" stones, cross, etc. However, at the same time, Judaism, Islam and traditional Christianity are still fairly alive in many Western nations.
