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?

I think a lot of it is indoctrination and environment. In a lot of areas if you don't believe you're out of the club. You'll be ostracized. In some countries it's even more extreme. But I also think there's an inherent fear of death, and hope for an afterlife, that 'gods' cover that some need. I've never had belief and I feel fortunate for that. But I also know there's lots of paths up the mountain. Pray to rock if you want. Just be a good person. But don't tell me to pray to a rock. Or make the lives of others worse because of your rock.
