Started shaky, proceeded steadily, fell of a cliff at 24:30. What's presented is not new. Religions have presented themselves as a source of Truth on every single question. For the questions where we have found a non-religous approach religious answers have failed to measure up. Worse yet, there is absolutely no difference in how religions produce the answers we can check and answrs we don't. Religious leaders assert that whatever they say is Truth and that's that. I truly emphasize with the position that leaves religious people in and I have no guidance to offer in their search for a purpose. The one thing I know it can not be, in a any society not controlled by religious dogma, is a source of Truth. However since Truth is what religion deal with it is also not equiped to inform us matters of it's little cousin, probabilistic truth, much less in matters where a single answer may not exist in the first place. We have been through cycle after cycle of religion providing authoritive answers without verifiable prevenance. It's a dead end and limiting this time to questions there's no right answer will not change that. Identifying wrong answers for questions of, for example, purpose is almost trivial in any open society and the rise of nones is should be clear in this regard. People have considered the answers handed down in and interpreted from various scriptures and have come out devoid of purpose for themselves. Let it go.
