How frequently (if ever) is Judaism contextualized as self help like other regions?

To give you some background I’m an atheist but am from a modern orthodox shule and I went to Yeshiva until age 11 and I went to shule every major holiday but seldom on Shabbat.

What I’m asking is how often is our religion sold to congregations by rabbis as a means of comfort or coping mechanism as Christianity or a Buddhism often seems to be.

I feel like a Bhuddism and Christianity have stories that can be used as inspiration for common problems like a need for community, or a sense of individual strength, or grief. I feel like prosperity gospel in Christianity makes sense especially 10 years ago during the recession, when unemployment was high. More often it seems likes a priest or a reverend will take a current event and apply a bible story to it and parley that as hope or strength or something of inspiration for the congregation.

Similarly I’ve seen Christian prayer likened to meditation, which obviously you have in Eastern religions. When I think of someone who is really into Jesus or Christianity, I more often think of a woman, and at least at the Orthodox level I see women as kind of bored at shule and secondary or outright ignored in ceremonies.

I feel like Judaism is practiced (at least in my experience as orthodox and observation) as obligatory or going through the motions because it just happens to be the faith you were born amongst.

Judaism doesn’t feel modernized in the same way Christianity does and I just wanted to hear some second opinions or disagreements or even an interesting analysis of this
