Why are more people inclined to believe in a higher power than not?

They're the majority most likely because people or more inclined to that way of thinking.

More people don't have and or problems with metaphors than not

Because having a realistic alternative is only relatively new, a higher power has been assumed to exist for most of history as there were no other explainations

yes.

Veeky Forums now worships the super god.

Because nobody knows the answer to the million dollar question.

Humans are the only animals that know that they will someday die, yet avoiding death is our most deeply ingrained biological urge. It is psychologically very comforting to believe in a higher power and some form of life after death.

Plus all the explanations for the universe that science offers are pretty unintuitive and people don't like that.

No, Abrahamic religions do not need God to explain natural phenomenon as old pagans did with lightning gods and river gods

This however doesn't mean that some American Protestants don't try to act like old pagans

leave

Which supergod?
Is it Roko's Basilisk?

>No, Abrahamic religions do not need God to explain natural phenomenon
Then why is creation of natural phenomenon by god the first chapter of abrahamic holy books?

Because it's quite possible. If you consider the higher power as something other than a supernatural force.

For example, there are some scientists out there talking about how the world is a simulation. If that's the truth, then God is whoever is running the show. Etc

>For example, there are some scientists out there talking about how the world is a simulation.
Are them on acid?

Path of least resistance, maybe also path of truth

Strange how we're lead to rarely question if the 'god' is something outside what we call our 'mind'.

They'd be attacked with accusations of 'selfishness' for not submitting to the possibility of a vengeful external god, all too familiar.

Probably a looneytoon conspiracy theory.

Human see Big Man. Big Man have much power and other man do what he tell. Human scratch head and think "What if there is an even bigger big man?" Human imagine the biggest man, so big his head in clouds, so much power he can do anything.

Human becomes witchdoctor and tells others about the power of Big Big Man. Other people do what he tell what Big Big Man tell, so this mean that Big Big Man is real because people do what he tell like with other Big Mans.

>you will never have a statue this rad

This is almost exactly true BTW, it is really as simple as that. See the Jade Emperor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Emperor and Four Heavenly Kings en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Heavenly_Kings

This lets you see that Gods are just powerful rulers projected onto the heavens.

Wtf you autistic retards
It isn't because you're smart and they're dumb.
For many people in the world the unguided and uncaring reality is too much for people to handle, they simply took the blue pill.
Don't you wonder why so many people are "religious" yet follow none of the doctrines intrinsic to their religion? because they want meaning, but deep down don't really believe it all.
