They thought that keeping the gods happy through rituals, offerings, and temples was essential to ensure prosperity, good harvests, and protection from disasters. This belief stemmed from their understanding of the unpredictable nature of the world around them, leading to a strong emphasis on appeasing deities to maintain order and favor.
