>They're these disaffected people that outsource their empathy and ambitions to some "greater" cause because they encounter so little struggle ordinarily.


I don't think so. In my estimation those who have rejected God and thereby rejected the ability to be absolved of sin have developed their own form of penance to make up for their personal moral shortcomings. This penance is embodied by the liberal social policies of the political left and administered through the highest authority, which for them is not God, but the state.

Those who believe in God believe in divine justice; they leave to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. They have no desire to administer God's justice through the state. The Left conflates Caesar with God, and gives to the state the ultimate authority to rectify all perceived injustices. I think this is where the "lol Jesus was a socialist" meme comes from.

This is the end result of Nietzsche's Death of God: a people servile to the State whose slave morality is derived from egalitarianism; in other words, the Last Man.
