Humans crave spirituality and religion in order to find a sense of meaning in their lives. If their lives only revolved around materialistic things, life would be pointless.

Consciousness gives us the ability to realize we will die. This is a big difference between us and other animals. We both have the all the things that help us avoid death, but they never sit back and think about it. Since we do, we need to justify this; come up with an afterlife or reincarnation.

It is kinda like a security blanket :) Or a way to make you accept yourself. And its always nice to know that there is something greater, that knows the whole story and how the cards should be played. Personally I think there is a race of aliens playing God for us, posing as humans, making miracles, etc, going through the proper process to manipulate our society into a Utopian culture.

First of all we are naturally curious. Secondly, the only reason for religion is because we don't really know what happens when we die. Death is the main factor in most religions.

Your coins crave spirituality and religion??? How odd. Perhaps that is why they tattooed themselves with "In God We Trust".

That question has many answers.It is an individual one. God calls, we answer. All human species do not crave these things.

Because of our brain we were able to see and understand death. Scary stuff that death. Knowing your own immortality. So we made up religion to answer questions we had no answers for and to believe that death was somehow not for us.

curiosity.
i think humans like to feel in control. it might feel better doing some ritual if it means to you that you're making the winter less harsh than rather worrying about how harsh the winter may or may not be.

Because God created us to long for Him. We were created to worship Him. Some would call this a "God - shaped - hole". We try to satisfy our longings with so many things i.e- sex, drugs, money, etc... and we try to fill this hole. We are never truly happy until we find the right puzzle piece. God.

Because we are made in God's spiritual image....we have a natural bent to know Him or at least something beyond ourselves.
