Why would anyone really think God exists? ... or even believe in Religion?

In my opinion, many times (not all) it comes down to two things.
1. They've had lonely depressing horrible childhoods
2. Their parents didn't believe and taught them it was 'intelligent' not to believe in stories a.k.a. religion
2. They don't want to believe that they're not in control of things

this thread is like trying to convince someone why my favorite color is blue....or that america gives the most on foreign aid ;D
Trauma-san:
Inspired by I Geezy's intelligent discussion on the topic, I thought I'd say one more thing.
In my opinion, there's 3 things humans cannot understand even enough to make intelligent conversation about,
1. God
2. Time
3. Space
We don't understand any of the three, because all three are impossible to our understanding of the world. So ultimately, you can't MAKE someone believe what you believe, or think what you think about any of the three, because any understanding of them is unexpressionable. You may, if you're lucky, one day just 'feel' or be enlightened to a better understanding of any of the three, but you often won't be able to discuss it or express it.
Trauma-san:
OH, and just to further complicate the discussion, the next two things on the list are
4. Love
5. Music
Which are a LITTLE BIT more understandable, but still very much a mystery to most of us.
