Why do people create gods and religion? Eastern religions, Shamanic religions, Abrahamic, African tribal religions, Greek..etc. Out of necessity maybe?
Maybe because they needed to have a common shared reality inoder to be strong as a community/tribe and a stronger identity as a community and as individuals? like 'I am <name> from the <name> tribe and we believe in this god/s and this is the way we live and do things'.
 
Because the question arises to all elders, if not younger, that there are alot of questions that could use answering. Man tries to grasp/cope with the world around. question asking is fundamental for that. ultimately questions lead to the question youre asking, you know what i mean?
 
It helps fulfill the human need to understand the world around you...without actually trying to understand it.

It also promotes a sense of community, which was very important to our species at the time religions were created.
