I think one of the best descriptions I've ever read for the creation of religion was written by on of my favorite author, Mr. T Prattchet.
I'm paraphrasing a bit here as i cant remember the quote exactly...
"Religion is born in deserts and the high countries. When man looks up and see's the infinite blackness space stretching away above his head he has the overwhelming urge to put someone in the way"
Sums it up rather well

"A man who keeps one eye on the past is blind in one eye. A man who ignores the past is blind in both."
