It seems to me that people without a strong sense of identity are finding something to give them one.
Even those with a strong sense of identity sometimes need comfort, or vent a bit, or be thankful etc.
Personally I pray to the classic Greek pantheon. Of course I know it's not real. But it's as good a way as any. So I thank Hera for the fact that I've got a healthy daughter, and I thank Hephaestus for a good day's work.
I don't give a shit that it's all imaginary. Thanks to science, I know that thankfulness and praying is proven to make people happier. And unfortunately, with my normal mood naturally below average, I do a lot of exercises like that.
