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

That's easy to answer.
If one is not raised with religion, (in most cases) this person doesn't believe. It's that simple.
I'm not raised with religion, so I look at religion more down to earth than anyone who actually is raised with religion.
If you are raised by Musims you are very likely to become (be) a Muslim and if you are raised by Christians you are very likely to become (be) Christian. In other words: it's all indoctrination ;)

Many man people who were not raised with religion have become religious. There are also many people who were raised religious and once they get out on their own, do their own thing.
Another thing, anyone who says they are in complete control of things is an egotistical fool. An earthquake can come and demolish all of your belonging and kill off all of your loved ones and there isn't a single thing you can do about it. You can, however, think about it two ways: the earthquake is an phenomenon set up by God (whether or not he actually caused the earthquake to happen at that time and location is dependant on whether you think God is still active in the world or not) or that it was a force of mother nature -- a geological phenomenon.
The fact of the matter is that everything goes back to creation vs. evolution, during the period of creation which no one was alive to prove whether God does or does not exsist. So, no one can disprove God's exsistence. Either belief takes faith
Z the laidback Virus:
You need to have more faith in the case of creation because it's main point is, as said, unprovable...God himself. While evolution is mostly based on observable,provable facts.
Also, the massive occurence of convergism in nature is big proof of evolution.
Take birds,bats and insects. Each one of them can usually fly ( at least,that's the ancestral case). Though they can all fly, their wings are extremely different.
In insects, the wings consist of altered 'scales' from the back.
In birds, forelimbs with fused fingers and feathers attached to them build up the wing.
In bats, the hands have extremely elongated fingers with leathery skin stretched inbetween those fingers,the arms,the sides of the body, the legs and the tail.
Now all three of them can fly efficiently yet they have completely different designs. If all flying creatures would have been created by God...why not give them all the same equipment? That's illogical, but them evolving from different origins and thus being different ( a la cars and trains) is a good reason for them differing so much in structure while they do the same thing.
Look at this pic and check the difference between the bird and the bat, and the similairity of the bat to the human, indicating they're much more closely related to each other and have descended and thus,evolved from a common ancestor.

Helicopters and Airplanes fly differently, and they were CREATED by human.
