If you haven't heard of it already, there actually is some evidence that belief in a God/otherworldly power has a (partial) genetic basis. It's called the God gene.

Oh,I have heard about it,ages ago. But I did not bother to read any cited studies. So,I do not know if its verified or not.But really,who needs studies to accept that people need that special kind of comfort ?

Really takes all kinds of people to make the world go round!

Agreed. The trouble starts when religion (or any kind of ideology) tries to overtake science.

Well, without any evidence, we all could just be making shit up, haha.

Yup. And sadly, I think even science has been infiltrated massively by ideology. Watching the silencing of academics who are trying to study detransitioners is a prime example.
