These people are looking for something that the western civilization is not giving them.  For some, it&#x27;s just to be treated like human beings rather than something less.<p>But others are looking for something else.  They look at the materialist view (where all we are is a collection of atoms created by random chance, obeying the laws of physics and biochemistry and neurology, and where it&#x27;s very difficult to find any real (non-arbitrary) meaning in life), and they find it empty - empty in a way that more material prosperity won&#x27;t fix.<p>And they look at Christianity in Europe, and too often they find it to be dead - full of unreality and dust.<p>Their cry is in essence the same as the hippies in the 1960s:  &quot;Your society isn&#x27;t giving us adequate answers.  It&#x27;s not enough to satisfy our hearts.&quot;
