People are easily lead, manipulated. It's in or nature to 'belong' to some group. If you are brought up under a specific religion, it was taught it in school, all your family and friends are the same religion, there's a sense of belonging from that. Similar to football followers, nationalists I suppose.

People want answers. The fact is we don't really know how life started on this planet. That's not good enough for people, the belief that there is some higher power in some way controlling things is comforting I think.
 
in a lot of cases its social/family cohesion i think. not wanting to go against the grain probably keeps a hell of a lot of people in line.
 
It gives hope and somewhere to turn when you have no where else. Religion is a fantastic thing when it's not being used as a reason for murder.
do you need religion for hope and somewhere to turn? why?
 
Some people need guidance and something to believe in. And also a sense of belonging. Don't see the attraction myself.
