Obviously, many people do have this need. It may stem from a fear of the unknown. Maybe they take refuge in fantasy and group socialization-- being glad to accept the comforting mythology of their parents or their peers. Humans are social animals and tend to gravitate toward membership in congenial groups. I could go on along these lines, but you get the picture.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
Yep.. there are the blissful ignorant.. and the brain washed by religion. But, some of us are like the above words of J. Lennon..

I think that we all would like to believe in something more positive and more honest than ourselves. Basically Religions give a basis for life. Ideology is the same, be it communist etc.
Sadly people then become fanatical about their beliefs.

For many it seems to originate in a inner need for real purpose.
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell (mathematician, philosopher and atheist)
For others it seems to originate in the area of morality.
“There is no significant example in history, before our time, of a society successfully maintaining moral life without the aid of religion.” –Will Durant (Pulitizer prize winner and atheist)

It helps the human mind to have a frame work on which to base its actions and reactions to life.

it is the same as a person needing crutches if they have a broken leg, only religion is for a broken mind

They don't have or understand true love. God is love, if you have that who needs religion?
