Why are people religious?

[Bomb Shot]

They knew that it's not real life.

Many people need answers, especially when there aren't any. They need meaning to life and a meaning for death. They need to believe in a continuation of life after death.

In my opinion heaven seems pretty boring to me.

Reminds me of this movie recap of “People realize life is pointless so people started to kill themselves.”

Religion is man made but your life is not man made.

Hardwired tendency due to the machinery used to engage with the parents in infancy. A lot of people never get passed early childhood so they remain religious, and look for external dieities.

Go on. I cannot help but notice you've only offered your reaction, rather than a countercase.

People talk about miracle but did everyone know miracle that until this day everyone can see and ponder until Last Day? Al-Quran. Past, present and future event.

And We warned the Children of Israel in the Scripture, “You will certainly cause corruption in the land twice, and you will become extremely arrogant.
Al-Quran 17:4

When the first of the two warnings would come to pass, We would send against you some of Our servants of great might, who would ravage your homes. This would be a warning fulfilled.
Al-Quran 17:5

Then ˹after your repentance˺ We would give you the upper hand over them and aid you with wealth and offspring, causing you to outnumber them.
Al-Quran 17:6

[And said], "If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, [you do it] to them [i.e., yourselves]." Then when the final [i.e., second] promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the masjid [i.e., the temple in Jerusalem], as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction.
Al-Quran 17:7


Internet exist and Al-Quran never change. Who created everything with this kind of perfect book with great and deep wisdom?

nothing to do with the cooking of food in ancient days and extra energy going to the brain and slowly developed a sense of wonder then.

They knew that it's not real life.

Because they like the idea of someone looking after them who is all powerful. Or, they don't want to take the time to educate themselves on science and natural history, or think religion caused everything.

[Bamford]

Because it is evolutionary beneficial.

When filtered for evolutionary function of course.

Evolutionary dysfunctional religions are called cults, they kill themselves or their children.

Very current thing.

Think pronoun.

Its easier to blame god for insanity leading to ones murder spree then it is to seek help in not starting said murder spree to start with.

[Pierce Dalton]

Well, they need to fill in the blanks, right? Religion is pretty good at that, it explains everything.

Because they're indoctrinated into that nonsense by their parents, teachers, etc, at an early age.

[Swarmfly]

It's an insurance plan.
