Perhaps religion is the response of human to things they cannot
understand?  Of course, if you assume that things that you don't
understand is the "work" of some "supreme" being, then you obviously
will tend to believe in "god(s)", which seems like a very handy way to
dispose of things we cannot understand, and thus cannot explain
convincingly, which, incidentally, are very bad for people who are
suppose to know everything, like the leader of a clan, or a parent....
Thus, the "object"/"supreme being" may just well be the creative
product of a cornered parent....

Sorry.  Usually I'm not interested in religious discussion, and I
still am not interested.  Unless, of course, if the topic is cast in
the light of anthropology....
