Technically, Religion was created to answer the fundamental questions of the human condition, such as where do we come from, and what happens to us after we die, ect.
Although philosophies and other spiritualities can cater for this need, religion is believed to be important, because it answers these questions. It also has social cohesive and transformative properties, that form communities (gives a sense of belonging) and shapes societies.
Religion is also a pathway to inner peace.Inner peace is a balance between ones physical, mental and spiritual well being. This balance is maintained with close practice of a religious system, which has adhesive social effects to maintain social health, and spiritual dimensions to maintain spiritual health. Prayer groups and meditation also help develop inner peace, as well as social cohesion. Adherents are then erged to spread this, thus created world peace.
