Food for thought
The need to believe...
Is the desire to belong to something greater part of human
nature?
One could argue that one of the causes for large religions
could be the human need to belong to something greater than ones self. Maybe
some left over parent/child dependency. The need to be looked out for by
someone with more power than we, ourselves, posses.
You could also argue that the need to believe in a higher
power comes naturally to us through instinct. Much like a baby knows to suckle
a nipple for milk, we instinctively know that we gravitate to a higher power
and in doing so we build foundations out of that instinct.
