It's more on the lines of building a sense of community. Some place where people can congregate. Our distant ancestors had clearings in the woods where they gathered. Churches or any other place of worship are just the continuation using different means.
Ya but.... the difference is the clearings our ancestors used didn't cost money to build. The church "elders" have to guilt trip people into believing their stupid god wants money so he can have a house built that he will never come and visit, pay taxes on or thank all those who contributed their money to build.
