God is/was hardwired into the human psyche. "Evolution of the Bicameral Mind" (inexact title, sorry), covered it in part. The idea is that the early Greeks did not realize that their internal monologue was their own personality, and interpreted it as the voice of god/s. Religion, in general, was the explanation for that which we did/do not understand.
Nonetheless, excellent portrayal, and a very interesting and creative take ont he subject!
