I dont' know, a primal force to want to belong to something other than your small family and have a sense of oneness with others?

Replace \"God\" with \"Shiva\", \"Buddha\", \"Xenu\" or \"Bigfoot.

Bond movies rake in a lot of cash from people who want to suspend their reason for a few hours and indulge in pleasant fantasy. That's very different from religion because, uhm, because, er, well it just is!

I have no idea what possesses adults to continue playing with an imaginary friend.

I get it.
From what I see this guy maybe suggested we all believe in James Bond too. No. But he's so much more likely, thats an important and relevant point.
We may love James Bond, Be extreme fans of the books or the movies, have symbols, pictures, dvds or books around the house but we don't pray to him or expect him to save us.
There's even evidence of Bond being based upon real agents, admitted by the author. Some of the fan base are fanatical about James Bond but NONE PRAY TO HIM for salvation.

Hmm... the teenage daughter of a friend is completely possessed with a Boy Band now. Typical hysterical fan-girl. Her behaviour can be even called "worship".
And this Boy Band at least does exist, contrary to "God".
When people worship some deity or similiar, this does not prove the existence of god at all. But it says very much about human psychology.

"if God did not exist, what would possess people say He does, let alone worship Him"
Does that answer your question?

Money, power, control and sex, that's why.

A way to console yourself that bad shit going down around you has a reason other than "shit happens."

So, that means that all gods and goddesses exist, right? After all, what would possess people to say Zeus, Shiva, Quetzalcoatl, Thor, Gaia, etc, exist, let alone worship Them?

Wishful thinking would be high on the list, too.
