Could neglect lead to destruction?

I'll summarize the religious argument: Bullshit. Religion is the adherence to traditions (religion is derived from Latin "religare" meaning “to bind”). Organized religion is the manipulation of people's adherence and their beliefs. There is nothing wrong with being a traditionalist... but if people are being manipulated by misguided and intolerant ignoramuses there will be destruction.

Anyways, I think you're somewhat correct. Neglect leads to destructive behavior in humans. When a person feels that no-one pays attention to them they act out in (usually) harmful ways - like drugs, drinking, suicidal tendencies. This is when an invisible pink unicorns come in handy, imaginary friends are very good at destroying any sense of neglect.
