Truthfully, I have come around to the idea that many people in the world want to believe that their actions are driven by some kind of higher destiny or power, even if their true motivations are internal.
Plenty of people want to belong to a group that supports and enforces a common system of beliefs. Most of the time this is for the better. Most belief systems are based on pretty universal ideals of goodness.
If people didn't need it then I don't think religion would exist.
