At one point in humanity religion seemed like the logical answer based on all the evidence. Greek mythology was all based on evidence, occurances in every day life. Just an exemple. But as time went on, evidence started to suggest a much more uncomfortable universe, one in which we are not rewarded for our good deeds and our enemies are not punished. Some were willing to accept this, some were not. But even today you see religious people relying on evidence, as little as there is left... And that is what science has no explanation for... Whenever science can't explain something, God usually seems to comes up in conversation... That in itself is a form of evidence, and really the only one religion has left. And they always have it, cause science will never explain everything. It will only explain more and more, and leave less and less space for God. "God in the gaps" theory. Thus back far enough, and us athiests and theists were once the same... We parted ways when evidence took one hand and faith took the other...
