People are inherently religious. They are going to worship, but seeking religion in a creed, a confession of faith, or an emotional experience while destitute of power to overcome the urges of the flesh constitutes a contradiction. It will not satisfy. Seeking satisfaction from any spirit of self or this world leaves the hungry soul without nourishment. Filling one's spiritual capacity with selfish interests is like eating food with no nutrition. When man realizes something is missing and the deeper longings of his soul are not satisfied, it is God's call to revival.
