Perhaps the logic Theists go through is the following even if they never express it, when they ask Atheists "Where did you get value/morals/meaning from"
I can only know there is meaning, value, morals, praise, if I know there is a soul and metaphysical reality, behind my perception.
I can only know there is a soul and metaphysical reality behind my perception, if I know there is value, morals, praise, meaning.
I cannot know one without the other. Instinct and emotion attachment makes you either want to believe in both or in the case there is knowledge of both, then it makes you to incline to hold on to that knowledge.
Like I said, evolution could've hardwired religious thought, because we sought to justify praise, morals. It can be a complete delusion, but perhaps, it's not.
Perhaps religious people are wrong about their world views but they are not wrong in feeling there must be meaning and a soul.
