Carl Sagan had the best answer for that, and it was the everyone had the image of the pale blue dot planet earth taken from millions of miles in space in their heads. That's what humanity needs, that perspective. Many don't have it, and religious parochialism flows from it. I agree with Carl.

The concept of reality. Believing in things because it feels good or for any other reason than evidence that it is true is damaging. Reality is the only way forward and the only honest way to live
