> Secular philosophy has failed to produce enough value for ordinary people living ordinary lives

Consider the situation: you want to get an abortion. Or you know someone who does.

I don't think I need to spell out the debate. But the secular world view is producing value for people who don't want to be afraid that they will spend literally INFINITY TIME being tortured. (And arguably it produces value for the religious, who do utilize secular services even when their religion forbids it).

The secular world view offers you freedom from judgement, both mortal and immortal. Many people find value in the freedom to not worry about superstition.
