Psychology. Weak psyches (sp?).
That's not a sophisticated answer. It's like a shortcut to thinking.
Let's make this a debate. Shall we get started?
Let's be speculative as well as using historical evidence. The question isn't asking merely who wrote religions and what their political motives were. The question is multilayered: have they made differences in human history? Without religions, how would the world today be? What impacts, whether positive, negative or both, did they have upon today's world and the future ? So on.
