It works on several levels.
1. As humans are small group animals, religion meets this need for people.
2. Most nonotheistic religions teach an elitest view on the world and as such, when you are apart of it you feel good for being part of such a special group.
3. Within such groups, you are told specificaly how to act and the choices that are "correct". When you go along with this, you are supporting and likewise being supported by the group. This is very much ingrained into the evolved human psyche and is rewarded by many chemicals.
4. It also gives you simple answers to hard questions that allow you to stop thinking. Such as the creationism style of thought, why do research on science when its so easy to just say "god did it".
5. Most people are a little freaked out over how to choose hwo to live your life. Religious groups will give you these commands and support you emotionaly as you follow these outdated tenants.
6. There is also another side, the brain chemical side. In your brain, there is a chemical that is produced called DMT. This is produced during what could be called "spiritual events". It creates a very powerfull feeling that many view as confirmation of those religious beliefs.

i know what ur talking about
funny thing is people who dont believe dont know what they r talking about because they cant. they have never experienced a gospel filled church before
there is a diference between a gospel filled church and a non filled church
ive walked in catholic churches jehovahs witnesses and non denominational churches for ordinances of the church
and never felt the presence of god
but ive experienced it in the mormon churches and the united pentecostal churches there is just a presence when u just walk into the door.its the most amazing feeling in the world.
these are the churches that invite the spirit of god every step of the way
and by the way mormons do beleive in the bible and the book of mormon for teachings of the church
and they do believe in the gospel of jesus christ
since i know its the next question

Cos' you're a 'follower.'
Followers desperately need something to lead them, to tell them what to do, when to do it, etc.
I'm a leader. I do what I want, when I want. I'm always happy!
(Oh I forgot, I'm also an Atheist..)

Happiness and love doesn't prove that your god exists. You feel that way because you want and expect to feel that way.

Happiness and love come from God. These are part of God's attributes. Even people that don't believe in God has these attributes of God.
