One of the key purposes of religion is control. Yes it provides an explanation for things, and makes people feel better about their lives, but it's also a tool for control. if you just take the nice things, and don't bother with other things, it's hard to keep the tithes coming. It's hard for religious leaders to control the masses. That's why conversion is so important, and why violence against everything different is so prevalent. You're not allowed to just live and let live, because that will cause some sheep to leave the flock. Sheep are there to be fleeced, after all.
