Religion originated from the basic fear of death or the end of one's existence. Religion became a form of comfort, that there is something to look forward to after death. Religion later became a convenient tool for establishing Political control over the fanatical followers. Religion was then used as a political tool to establish social structures and behaviors that glorified leaders as earthly Gods or emissaries of an invisible heavenly master.
