Primitive man seemed to need a deity to explain the origins of the world around him as well as his own existence.

That need for god would have been bred out of humanity as it progressed, if it had not been for some men who wanted to turn deities and religion into a tool to control the masses.

Now, a deity is not needed so much to explain an origin so much as it is to keep humanity ignorant.
