Overly simplistic take on the subject of why humans feel the need for religion. But I did learn a cool Taoist Meditation ritual and I like the concept of "brainsoothing", which is what religion does for us - through ritual, socialization (bolsters Gretta Volper's position) and relief from ambiguity - it turns out that, based on fMRIs, our brains really don't like ambiguity.
