The human mind exists to find relations and discover and understand the world as to make better predictions and survive better.

The human mind will attempt to to this to everything. So when a person asks why the sun rises, they are going to not know. That results in explanations being essentially made up, which results in religion.

I think it's a natural state for an uninformed human to descend into. The creation of religion didn't happen on purpose, it happened by accident.
