because WE exist!
Short answer.
That's why dogs don't have a heaven. And my dog deserves it- poor bugger hasn't evolved enough to imagine one yet.
We exist so leprechauns and the flying spaghetti monster exist. Okay, gotcha.
...AND HEY! All dogs go to heaven!
No. Religion is slightly more perfected than the idea of the flying spaghetti monster and leprechauns.
It holds about the same weight, I agree with you, but religion is a well established part of our evolution.
Think about the mindset of the first humans who came up with the idea.
So like Icesage touched on, all the fictional characters humans have created exist to then right? Santa? Easter bunny? Unicorns? The only difference between them and a god is a god is a fictional character that has been used to answer the biggest question of "why are we here?" instead of just who delivers toys to children, that's the ONLY difference and why people grow out of Santa yet still cling on to god as a way of answering something so big.
And please don't try and claim religion is part of our evolution. Evolution is meant to help a species adapt to it's environment and help the species survive, religion has done nothing of the sort. It's only been around for so long because it started when people were superstitious and gullible enough to buy it, and it's been passed down from parents to children, and children will believe anything you tell them, please see santa.
