God is life. Life reproduces itself. Life grows healthy and strong in an environment that is clean and free of things that are harmful and hurtful to life. The Holy Spirit is the Breath of Life. The standard family that is bound together with love and respect is truly the best recipe for happy, healthy people.
People grow up in all kinds of family or non-family situations.
In many of these places, the person is not raised with the perception that they are a person of value. When children are rejected or ignored, they begin to believe they are worthless. Instead of hugs, kisses, and words of encouragement, they received abuse or were simply ignored. We are all made in the image of God. So, rejection of God is based on rejection of self.
