Almost all primitive peoples believe in God- and little kids will make up their own if you don't give them one- the real evolutionary step is figuring out a way to live if life has no extrinsic meaning, and if there is nothing else but what is here. Of course that is a lot harder to do the more difficult your life is. I do not say this is the "correct" way to live I only say it is more difficult, takes more thought, religion seems to fit the well worn paths of most people's synapses.

And on a tangent- for some reason the spellcheck function on SI did not highlight the word "Almsot" - is there such a word? A person to whom alms have been given who thereupon inebriates himself?
