It would seem that at the very origins of society, a tool would be needed by those who would like control, to wield over their followers and thus keep them in line. What more perfect tool than the promise of eternal happiness/reward for obeying the law and leading a "good"(i.e. compliant) life, and eternal pain and suffering and torture for leading a "bad"(noncompliant) life? Furthermore, there would be no need to ever prove the existance of these entities because one is supposed to rely on "faith"(i.e. the absence of objective evidence) to maintain the belief.
Thus the perfect tool was created, and most governing entities throughout time have exploited it in one way or another.
Just a thought...

i dont believe in religion because i am not going to let something govern my life that is not 100% true. our presence on this earth is meaningless....to give an explaination for everything just creates more confusion. live your life how you want to.
