From the Paper:

"Our whole existence since the dawn of humanity has been merging with religion. Everything that early humans saw or heard, and could not explain, was attributed to the will of the higher powers, the almighty powers of God. During the time when uncertainty and instability a part of normal life, people need something to believe in. Religion gives people the hope and sense of stability in life; it makes them feel secure when there is someone looking out for them. Therefore, it is not surprising, that every part of the world has its own god. Due to lack of contact between the civilizations during early periods of humanity, the radical differences between religions have merged. Every country has its own set of religious rules and the culture of the countries tend to revolve around these certain set of beliefs."
