Beyond Belief
Whether it's creationism or evolution, is this obesession we have for belief grounded in our need to orientate ourself? Is it so that we can give our existence a beginning, middle and end so that we don't become swamped and confused by the apparent pointlessness of it all?

if i was to give a "non religious" reply..and said I believe its simply to give an end goal, to give structure, meaning and direction to the cycle of life, I may be simplifying it alittle too much but..er..hey ho.
I think it's always been put forward that religion has been created to fill the unknown. Does it matter though?

To sooth with "there's no real death" and "life does have a meaning" you mean ? Guess so
<< Does it matter though? >> On an individual level, probably not; on a mass scale, yes.
