Why are humans religious?

Skip:

If you look for sense and reason hard enough, you can pick out details that support your idea of how the universe operates. (Well, somebody's idea; most of us inherit our belief-system.) And I think that's exactly what primitive people did: tried to make sense of what happened to them by positing entities somewhat like themselves - only more powerful - stage-managing the production of which man is the star. (And besides, they missed their parents.)

Thanks, Skip, this makes sense to me. Stay well.
