Religion, as some have pointed out already, is a substitute for a genuine answer and its search.
The way I see it we simply put a religious answer instead of genuine research in. Maybe because of laziness, maybe because we have a tenacity to apply agenticity to inanimate objects, or just maybe because religion throughout the ages has been used for control and subjugation. I'm not sure what the exact reason is, but I do think that it is a substitution for genuine understanding of the world.
