Why do people believe in religion?

[berserkinterbuy]

People believe in religion because it is a part of their daily life.Religion is a way for our beliefs in our creator.It is the only way to reach God.Religions fill a void in our intellect,emotion and spirit.Religion inspires people to do great acts of charity, kindness, and selflessness.People of religion they use it because they find hope,peace,love.

Perhaps not so cardinally think all people are believers, but the basis of their faith is that with faith they live better and their hope is more strong. Only a believer can be happy at full strength.

[Villy_wongaa]

Because religion is an integral part of a community and because it is a tradition in different cultures of our society. Sometimes we  often follow orders from those who we view as superior to us without a second thought like religion.

Only getting into a bad situation, or being in a desperate situation, a person turns to God. And the most important thing is his personal decision, and not forced by someone. Therefore, we all have a choice and this is the main thing.

Yes, many people remember God only when they get into a difficult situation and he does not want to help them. But in fact, this difficult situation is a punishment or a lesson.

[mastermold]

Because it helps to understand, or just accept some painful facts in our lives. Religion is not science and you don't need any proof to believe. This is why it's hard to believe, and this is why it may bring you true happiness. These are your beliefs, and the fact that it doesn't need to be proven makes it so special. And mostly it is the case that religion doesn't come in conflict with science.

[bryant.coleman]

Religion is not science and you don't need any proof to believe. This is why it's hard to believe, and this is why it may bring you true happiness.

Always the same excuse with the religious nuts. If you want others to agree with you, then you need to provide some proof for your claims. Else how will the other know that you are not dishing out BS for your own benefit? Tomorrow I will say that I am a reincarnation of the god, and I will not give any proof to support my claims. Will you accept me as the reincarnation of the god?

someone needed something to calm himself, to convince and encourage something bad in real-life. and give heavenly hope.

That i think is also one thing why religion is widely accepted even in he past. There are things that happen to a man's life that he would have the need of something to hang on to or something to look to for explanation. Religion gives the answer to a lot of this unclear things.

There are many unconscious reasons people believe in religious faiths. While many people find comfort and joy in their religious practices because of their moral teachings there are other reasons they're drawn to their faith as well. For many people faith was a part of their upbringing and they want to continue their families traditions. Faith plays an important role in our culture and reason has been part of the human race from time immemorial and it will continue to be part of us.

[avikz]

Information and religion has no inter-relation hence it can’t be judged with this comparison. But both information technology and religion were created by the human beings for our own good. The necessarily of Information technology is known by everyone.

However, why do religions exist? It is because, you need to resort to something when you are sad or when you have committed a sin. You need something to resort to where you can wash away your sins. That’s why we have created religion.

But sadly, few people are using religion for their own benefits. Also they are receiving support from many other people who believes in religion. I am sure, this religion will be bring the doomsday up on us in few years.

I agree that for the many people religion is just ritual, part of culture or tradition etc.
Still, it's not only answer why so many people follow religion and believe in God.
Many people can't find purpose in their life. They feel that is some highest truth and purpose out there.
Other people, like Einstein, through science understood that must be creator, God, who created all this miracles and whole universe.
Some people had spiritual revelations and talked with God.
There are no simple answer why so many people believe in God and religion.

The answer is simple.  A lot of people are gullible, uneducated or just plain stupid.

The rest is just 'going with the flow' for family, culture and tradition sake.

Most religious wackos do not really believe that they consume the actual body of Christ when they swallow their cracker every Sunday.
If they do, they are simply delusional.   

Religion is a business.

Science proves, and nature shows, that God exists:

The details of what God is like can be found in combining the proof in the links with all the things you can see in nature, in yourself, in other people.

God makes things work. The proofs show this. He has nothing to do with originating destruction, but since people and the devil seem to like destruction at times, God even makes destruction work for them.

[Brystol-MyersSquibb]

Because some people have higher spiritual connections than others (some obviously none at at) those that do, seek guidance from it, through the good times & bad.

To be honest, it's very hard for me to object to something both to one and to another person. I believe in God, but not in his material existence. And at the same time I know that science will never confirm this.
