Introduction

The knowledge of the origin of religion is highly inaccurate and inadequate, as no form of information preservation – such as writing – existed at the time. Apparently, the evolution of religion was prior to that of language and writing.

It is assumed by theorists, that the first religions evolved as a response to human fear and mortality (rather, fear of mortality). These were created in order to provide humans and the society, with a sense of security and a command over this overwhelming (yet majestic) world.

As humans evolved, their brain size increased, causing them to wonder about their existence. After failing to reach a legit consensus, it was hypothesized that “SOMEBODY” created them, and for a certain oblivious purpose.

In addition to this, in order for a smooth running of the societies, stories were created, that would probably attempt to explain the occurrences in the their experience.

These theories, were perhaps brought in by the wise (sages or philosophers), who might in fact, be aware of the truth, but only make up stories, for the simple understanding of laypeople.
