When people got smart enough to ask the big and - at the time - unanswerable questions (where does the sun go? What happens when you die? WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?) they came up with plausible-sounding answers. They made stuff up which felt good.
The trouble is, the teachers and custodians of these "answers" began to realise how much power this gave them over other people, so after a while the "answers" weren't just proposed solutions to imponderable problems, they became RULES and TENETS which had to be accepted and obeyed unquestioningly, on pain of divine wrath.
You're welcome

I'm glad that we have you "enlightened" atheists around to chastize us intellectual inferiors. Thanks.
