There' s always going to be some miserable prick who wants to be in charge. When they come up with an idea ( good or bad) - they become politicians and try to get everyone to follow their idea.
When they have nothing else - they make up an invisible friend - and try to get the more dimwitted of their neighbors to believe in that invisible friend. Thus - religion.
