Belief in gods is a social practice. The perception of a god is the result of a kind of group hypnosis. Who knows how social practices come into being or why, but once established they are self perpetuating.

I'm afraid it doesn't work that way, friend. Undecided
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
