 Totaly agree!

But for people and nations that actually had an experience of being abused, robbed, raped...this is a tricky part because when you are in survival mode, you cannot be in imagination and Trust. 
When someone experiences this brutallity, they might know (believe) their origin, but they will still feel victimized and what you feel is how you act (what you get). 
Even worse, they might actually start believing that maybe god exists but it forgot about them.
