A great quote from Pierced For Our Transgressions:

…false faith alienates us from God. More than this, it alienates us from ourselves, for we know how to be truly human only when our humanity is located in a right relationship with our Creator – human beings alienated from God live inauthentic lives. This has implications for the rest of creation, for it was designed to flourish under the governance of true humanity (Ps. 8), and now that order has been disturbed.
