religion,, is it really needed? Options

Lets say that no one ever knew about God, or how we got here (im not trying to offend anyone here, or saying this is true etc.) but do you think that we could go on w/o something to tell us how we got here. Which brings me to another point, what if someone just made all this religion stuff up? So, if from everyones brain, religion was erased, do you think we could go on w/o making something up, or discovering something new. Hey, i thought of something else, do you think that if there were more people focused on finding out how we got here (without God) would we find out?

Im trying not offend anyone by saying their religion is false, which i am doing, but nevermind this has no point...

Ancient people made up stories about magic and magical creatures to explain the world around them. The world was confusing and strange to them and they had no scientific way of explaining the things around them. Their stories varied from simple tales about morals...i.e. fables and rhymes, to complex plays, epic poems and songs...which is how the Bible came to be.

It was easier to believe that if you do a dance or if your pray to the invisible man above the clouds, rain will come pouring down, than it was to believe that nothing controlled it or that nature was uncontrollable. Religion was a source of solace to anicent peoples.

Ancients had a god or a goddess for everything. Some religions around today do the same. Some religions only have one God. In the end, most religions have the same messages...acceptance for all, love for all, and heaven/the next life awaits the good person. Even if you don't follow any one religion or any religion at all, those are still good rules to follow.

In conclusion, some people just need re-enforement and explination of the rules. That's why some people believe as they do and attend church every Sunday and do the "right things", whatever those are to them. Even if God/religion had never been capitalized or formalized, religion would still be around. Every ancient society had some form of religion, every civiliization has their fables, creation tales, and legends. There's no way religion could NOT have ever existed.

Could we find more possibilities of creation if we tried harder? yes. Will we ever? yes. Will people ever accept them within our lifetimes?? probably not. Thousands of years of beliefs and explination and re-enforcement against the announcements of a few scientiests and academics will not stop the power of religion.
