Because... seriously. Without morals.... what the **** is the point of staying here?
Seriously, EVERYTHING YOU WILL EVER CREATE is going to be destroyed eventually. So why do it?
& this is (probably) why religion was created- to give people that "why". Religion is practical. It is easier (and probably more effecient) to pick "blindly" from one of the "million" religions then spend your entire life searching for an answer. People who spend their entire lives searching for an answer are the kind of people who end up arguing this crap on YAHOO ANSWERS instead of spending time with friends... or getting a job... lol.
Seriously tho. Religion is SO necessary. Without it, we might be tempted to just give up & pull the trigger. Or even worse, lol, sit around wondering "why" all day... Please don't act like you don't understand why people use that argument because it is obvious. People need something.. so they created God.
Duh.

On the spiritual level, they instinctively sense there is more to life than material stuff. They find God gives a focus or point to their life. So they argue based on their perspective. The religion they find meets their spiritual needs well ; sort of feeds them. People forget that nothing in this world is perfect, , and that a lot of imperfect thing work well enough,. to make our world function at its current level. Religions are not perfect, but meet people spiritual emotional needs. What people need to do, is nor accept all their religion's ideas as correct, just because their religion makes them feel good. If you have a point to your life, that works for you, and makes you a good contributer to the betterment of the world, God will like you, whether you believe in a particular image of God or not.

Life has no purpose without God says atheist Russell:
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell (mathematician, philosopher and Nobel Laureate)
Thing without a purpose have no worth, so without God, our lives have no real worth.
We don't have to blindly choose one of a million religions. All we have to do is to honestly seek the One who created us. It's that 'honest' part that is the hardest.

Aesity means self-existence. Aesity explains the metaphysical nature of God as a purely self-existent being that exists in complete actuality. God is not a being that is created by another god; neither does God create himself into existence. Rather, God has always existed as an unchanging, completely actualized being.
God has his Being of himself and to himself such that he is Absolute being and the definition of existence.
Since God’s essence is his nature and God’s existence is the same as his essence it follows that God is existence.

They have no vision.
God doesn't exist, and yet I see a wonderful point to life. The point is to evolve, to invent, to create, and to bring our own purpose into a universe that had no purpose before.

People assume a life without god is a life without meaning and most people cannot fathom such a life.

Because they believe that life has no meaning without a "god". How sad.
