If there were really no need for God, why does every human society have some sort of religion

There was an Olympics segment tonight dealing with the history of the Queen .

The narrator was some dedicated old historian who's speech was filled loving solemn recantations of how she has been that stillness in the midst of many storms, a benign presence always behind things as prime ministers come & go , while being that uniting force there guiding us along though the power of the Crown has lessened , always there in the back ground . One listening to this was only struck by same edification solemnity & adorations similarly imagined fulfilled by the institutions of religion .

One could refer all the way back to the dreamtime of the Aboriginal tribes where it all started with totem animism & archetypal heros . Down to this latest expression of anthropomorphism of our seeking unity of being together in the world , the British Queen just another expression of those archetypes in the modern dreamtime with all her adornment & glorious raiments , so on earth as it is in heaven.

Then half way across the world up in N Korea there are just as real similar tribal archetypal powers that are seen to lead & regulate the tribe in the field of time , supreme leaders just as real for them as for would be for any British Royal (who will invoke similar deep solemnity, sorrow & mourning when she passes )

North Koreans mourning the death of "Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il"

(did they have a choice ?)
