Could theism be borne of neediness?
The need to have answers?
The need to be a part of something bigger than one's self?
The need to feel loved?
The need to be lead?
The need to not stop being?
The need for forgiveness?
The need to be special?
The need to control?
The need to excuse?
The need to connect?
The need for rules?
The need for happiness?
The need for comfort?
Ad infinitum...
So much of what I hear from so many theists is that their gods, faiths, beliefs provide these things. So much of what I hear from many atheists is that they get these things without any gods.
