why do modern people still believe in gods?

its obvious there is no god, we are just here, like cats and trees, nothing magical, no wierd rites or rules or funny clothes we have to wear, or other people to hate for no reason at all, and yet people still go on about gods,why?

Excellent question that has been asked over the ages and still remains an unsolved mystery. Even the smartest of most of us still seem to seek some familiar "persona" of someone who will take care of us and hopefully, provide some kind of after life. Unfortunately, the majority of humankind thinks (wrongly) to have "god" on their side which runs deeply and stirs up extreme and maladaptive emotion.

We have but one chance for humankind to actually evolve and that is to take religion out of the equation. I don't see this happening in my lifetime. I feel badly for the youth of today who are going to suffer on account of inherited false belief.
