Why religion is appealing (Introduction)

There has always been a community motive for religion, and that same community has always been a source of contention between two congregations of disparate thoughts. What I am more curious about is why so many people have felt the need for a god to begin with. Based of its pervasiveness and archaeological evidence we can assume that the vast majority of all humans who ever lived had at least some notion of God, despite vast differences in culture, and vast geological separation.
