It is a comfortable notion, no doubt about that.
For many people, the notion of living in a godless world is too depressing.
I have been thinking about this a lot. Would the world be a better place without religion?
"Religion is the opiate of the masses."
Perhaps this opiate is needed to encourage social order?

Agreed. The simpletons need some reason why we are all here. "God" satisfies that need. Problem solved.
In case you couldn't tell, I am not a religious person at all.
