This seems to suggest that compared to theism, atheism is inherently demotivating for some people (namely those whose "social primate emotional needs" are not being met), since they can no longer fall back to "God" as an agent whose answer would be important enough. So this could be another way that Being Okay with the Truth may be false.
I wonder if this is ever true for people who've never been theists. No wonder nothing else seems important anymore after importance has been anchored to godhood.
