Gem, I think it is this lack of fairness and justice in the animal kingdom (including us), which drives people to religion.
They fantasize that due to God's mysterious ways, there will be an ultimate justice "in the end".
A noble notion but completely out of sync with reality.
Yes, life is unfair and sometimes it sucks the big one, but the sooner we acknowledge it as a society, the sooner we can modify our ever changing secular laws to compensate...
Pretending that some magic man will punish those that got away with it is not the answer in the short term or the long term.
It just leads to more woo like karma, etc.

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
