"The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us..." should we be grateful?

Obvs, I don't think so.

But this raises the question why has god belief existed far, far longer than written history?  What exactly do the people for whom it is a positive experience get from it?  These are important questions to answer, not just bat away, assuming you want to understand people and the world we live in.
