It's a bit of an issue within the show's world. The show actually does a great job at portraying the different type of long term reactions you'd get after such a miraculous event. But the Depature, as it's called, doesn't really seem like it was a good thing for any of the main characters involved - unless I'm remembering incorrectly. But some people in the post-Departure world, obviously, have been able to capitalise off it.
In the town where it's set the priest character, Matt, is essentially going around trying to prove that it wasn't the Rapture - since a lot of the people taken were actually bad people, or did very sinful things in their lifetime.
