Different web sources offer different reasons for why we need God. Some say we need God because he fixes our broken lives sets us free from fear and oppression and corrects our ego and vision.
Others say we need God because we are made in his image we love and worship him, and we owe him our life and gratitude.However, some may not feel any need or interest to know God at all
The topic of why people believe in God is a complex one that has puzzled many for a long time. For most people in the world, it seems obvious that God exists, and they find it puzzling how anyone could not believe.
However, there was once a time when nobody believed in a god of any sort, and our evolutionary ancestors were all atheists until they found religion. So the question remains: why do people believe in God?
That is to say, humans not only believe they have agency, but they also believe others have agency as well.
We judge the actions of others depending on whether we deem them to be intentional or not.
Since humans are hypersensitive about other people’s agency, they also have a tendency to infer intersectionality in natural processes or inanimate objects.
Beliefs in water sprites, woodland spirits, specters, spooks, ghosts, and demons are ancient and observed in every culture around the world.
Humans tend to automatically detect agency in inanimate objects whenever the situation is unpredictable and out of our control. This kind of animistic thinking is a universal human trait.
Such thinking is common in children, and as adults, animistic thinking is shaped by the norms of our culture.
Animistic beliefs are also common in hunter-gatherer societies, but what they don’t have is organized religion.
Today, religious belief continues to be shaped by cognitive, motivational, and societal factors.
Analytical thinking styles are associated with lower levels of religious belief, while people who are higher in emotional intelligence tend to be more religious. Social isolation and facing death can also increase religious faith.
Belief in God increases when situations become uncontrollable, such as in the case of natural disasters. Another motivational factor is self-enhancement.
If a society values religion, it’s in a person’s best interest to say they believe, whether they truly
Without offending anyone this is clear my thinking about religion I have a great respect for believers I will never argue or discuss someone’s belief.
As a teenager my mother use to shout at me every bloody Sunday and to keep her happy I use to go to the church but once i left home I follow my belief.
Do I believe in God?> No there is no God specially the God they build the image on us since little children, I use to believe a God is an old man who sit above on the sky and watching all of us what are we doing and if we are doing wrong we ask for forgiveness.
I use to believe that but growing up and from experience every-time i look around I do not see God anywhere.
I can see volcano earthquakes, tsunamis killing thousands of innocent people and where is God to help?
What it breaks my heart is when I see children as young as 5 to 10 years old dying from a disease and it could be avoided if money and resources were in the right place those innocent souls they go too soon where the hell is God to save those souls.
If he is our father as the Bible want us to believe then he is a very very bad father he failed 100% to look after his children he loves us where is the love? not a sign how can I believe in someone whom I can not see I caravan not ask for help[ because so far he made it clear he does not give a fuck about us.
when I think about religion and Godf I see the faces of boys been abused for years and they destroy their future I see injustice corruption and a God who is so weak and tired he can not help himself not us.
When I read the Bible all I can read is short unfinished making no sense stories I am shocked we even allow them to fool us with the book
Stories like Sodom & Gomorrah what the hell that story is doing in the Bible who are the children of God when a father fuck his daughter and the son his mother to produce children these are not choroid.s children we are talking about pornography
Maybe this is why we allow the priests to rape children there is always an excuse behind and I am not going to mention the Pope where 5 children were him his shoes this is satanic ritual what God has got to pod with all that,
Yet our justice system based on the Bible and the fake 10 commands
This alone tells me everything about the society we are living, based on lies on stories myths they never happened and we obey fake rules and let our children on the hands of useless people to do as they pleased.
This is what I think about religion and as I respect anybody else’s opinion I expect others to do the same and if not my belief is a rock

Fully modern humans arrived about a quarter-million years ago and lived hunter-gatherer lifestyles until recently.
In these primitive societies, humans lived in small groups of around 100 to 150 people because this was the largest population that the surrounding terrain could support.
These groups were considerably larger than the societies of primate species, which tend to number in the few dozen range.
Humans are far more capable of cooperation than other primates, enabled by certain evolved cognitive mechanisms, with a sense of agency chief among these mechanisms.
Humans quickly developed an understanding that they can intentionally cause things to happen, and they apply this sense of agency to interpreting social interactions.
Around 15,000 years ago, humans gradually began adopting agriculture.
At first, humans domesticated a few animals and tended gardens to supplement their hunting and gathering,
but eventually, all but a few societies around the world shifted solely to farming and herding.
Agriculture can support many more people per acre of land compared with hunting and gathering, but this came with a cost. As long as human group sizes were small,
they had the psychological mechanisms to deal effectively with the members of their community. However, in anonymous societies,
it’s easy to take advantage of others, as there’s no way for the rest of the group to punish those who take advantage of the system.
The solution was to invent ever-watchful gods who’ll punish cheaters for us.
Thus, organized religion grew hand-in-hand with the rise of the city-state.
But he needs our money as wel;l what sort of father does not look after his children to me he is the worse father ever and of course I do not believe in God, I believe in nature as powerful as she is I believe in us as Humans because I see yous I talk to you I can help you if you need help[ and you can help me.
The Bible says God made us to his own image and to me we are all little Gods, The Bible and the 10 commandments they never existed iut is a myth going back thousands of years another religion had shared the same story as Christ and that not his name either .
