Self-organizing implies a misleading amount of intent.
There's an innate bias imbedded in consciousness that interprets everything experienced in self-important terms of consciousness.
Early forms of religion interpreted an unexplained death or famine as a direct reaction from gods or spirits that were offended: Humans are not only prone to anthropomorphic explanations of events, but incredibly self-important.
Even earlier forms of religion like animism assume the consciousness of objects there is no good reason to attribute it to, like rocks and trees.
Consciousness is not only the ability to interpret the world, it's the ability for intense self-importance and self-delusion.
