This hell must be a huge place. Atheists, Buddhists, Muslims, non-messianic Jews, Taoists, Shintoists etc. About 66 percent of the world's population.

If you knew the life-changing dynamics of the Holy Spirit you'd make a better argument than the one above.
Only if you believe that the bible is true because the bible is true. God's word is a subjective opinion. There is no proof.
If your prayer was sincere something will happen.
Of the 12 people in my Master's Seminary class, 11 found Jesus / God when they were in a serious crisis, down on their luck. They cried out and Jesus answered. 11 out of 12 testimonials. God hears from the brokenhearted.
I do volunteer work with 'at risk' teens in a detention facility. The staff doesn't discuss personal religious worldviews.

So by "secular" you mean "government", then? Seems a bit disingenuous to claim an absence of religious display in a facility where there are likely-lawsuit driven regulations against displays of religion by employees.
In a freer environment where religiosity isn't specifically regulated against you'd see more of what I experience.
If were that simplistic then you'd expect a better success rate from depression medications.

Yep, I'm no true Scottsman.
...and Kenneth Copeland said that no "real Christian" gets sick or needs to die. If a "real Christian" dies, it's because they want to be with Jesus. That, or they had "insufficiant faith".
People who really believe in God hear God.
It's called a Catch 22.

It is my opinion that God is real and the Bible is true. The same way it seems to be yours to the contrary.
Your opinion is based on faith. Ours is based on the lack of concrete evidence presented by those of your faith.
We win.
Actually my belief is based on much more than mere "opinion". But, pearls before swine.......
Desperation tends to do that.
Catch 22. God won't appear until you believe he's there. With "all your heart".

You should get desperate some day so you can be saved too then.

Been there, done that. Ascended.

I have noticed over the years how many Christians favor tossing out that old "pearls before swine" caption, without ever truly grasping the inherent context of the author.

Can't help you anymore. But I'll be around to knock down false claims against the Word and Christ.
You are the one who claims to be desperate. Who really needs the help? you or him ?
Sorry to disappoint you but I've already crossed over unto eternal life in Christ (John 5:24).
You have WHAT when you belly up?
