(May 25, 2009 at 2:34 am)SilentDon Wrote: I don't know if I'm right or not but I believe that religion started out of a fear of death and the unknown. Religion was a way of explaining things unknown and creating an afterlife that could give the believers power over thier fear.

That is indeed how the first religions started out worldwide. Having a god/spirit/deity for everything. This is particularly about the monotheistic religions founded after what they now refer to as pagan religions.
