Everybody has an empty void called the soul. The soul is God-shaped and is a void until God resides enthroned once again in the soul of man. "Religion," atheism, sex, greed, sin etc, etc is man's search for a way to fill that void - but it will never satisfy that void. Salvation through Christ is the only thing that will fill the void of the soul and enthrone God in His rightful place in man. That is not "religion" that is a fact, a reality, and a relationship.

There is no void to fill. Humans simply want to believe that they are superior to other human beings.

Some practices are designed to directly experience the void.

Religion was first used to explain natural phenomenon, gods were in charge of the forces of nature then it became an overwhelming system of control as it completely diverged from a democratic viewpoint

Unlike other religions where your life is judged on your deeds, christianity is about a relationship with Jesus(GOD). Christianty is about God connecting with man and providing salvation to all who Believe Jesus died for their sins.

Every humans wants to be fully recognized for his or her devotion and that's just not possible without an omniscient god.
