I think for the average person, having kids might be the best way to have a positive impact on the world. Something like selling a company sounds like a bigger deal, but in 10, 30, 50 years, what will it matter? Some money is exchanged and some customers have some need fulfilled for the moment. Having kids and doing your best to teach them to be happy, empathetic, thoughtful, etc. can have an impact for generations.

Religion is just fiction to make you feel better. Which does have a point, but once you see it for what it is, it is hard to go back to it.

The community is kind of what I miss a bit about it, and that community makes a bit more sense now that I'm middle aged. But I don't know if the rest of the crap that comes with it is worth it for the community that you can achieve with it.
