And I learned from it, not that I am a fan of religion. :)

The only reason there is religion is because our species developed self-awareness. The resulting fact is that as a species we can't accept death, much less all too frequent stupid, meaningless, absurd accidental death along with the violent malicious death that we perp on each other on a regular basis. Thus the almost universal delusion.

Yep, a lot of people need an artifice to help explain the inexplicable.

Religion is one of those interesting arguments - one one hand you can't prove there is a God, but on the other hand you can't prove there is not. :-)

For me it's more a question of why humans appear to need the threat of an angry god and a hell in order to treat each other, and the beasts and the children humanely?

You misunderstand. They need the threat of an angry god and hell in order to meet the needs of the priests and scribes for a comfortable living.

That makes for certain feelings on the part of some, and not on the part of others.
