I am sometimes jealous of religious people. They have a clear vision of the meaning of life and churches give them a social group they can join.
Us atheists don’t really have something like that.

What you describe is probably a minority amongst folks who claim to believe in a religion.
Plenty of atheists are capable of finding both meaning in life and social groups to join.
Point being, in a religious environment you don't have to have skill - the meaning in life and social groups are automatic and baked in. That's not the case for atheists so it's easier to get "left behind" if you happen to be "unskilled", as you put it.
