    Too much drama for something natural for humans, that humans evolve anew when it’s taken from them.

    You can’t live without religion, you’ll just invent a new one.

    Kinda how Christianity took over Mediterranean when the plethora of old cults turned into something like attractions in a park, and for mystery religions it was just another mystery religion, but easier to access.

    Or how Soviet ideology was quite similar to a religion (the magical part was concentrated in the “dialectical materialism” and “scientific communism” things), and when people stopped believing into that, hundreds of sects and superstitious beliefs start popping like mushrooms after a rain.

      Clearly some of us can. But as a whole we do seem to crave finding purpose behind random events.
