There is only one universal truth and humans aren't privy to it.
Religions try to formulate ideas based on bits and pieces and sell comfort to quell what Soren Kierkegaard called existential angst. If they had found the truth there would only be one religion instead of hundreds.
People want certainty and faith provides a doorway that they can peek into. The more the greys perturb, the more orthodoxy they crave.
We don't know why we are here or what our exact purpose is but in the meantime we busy ourselves with temporary pursuits. Some of them lead nowhere whereas others might point us towards elevating our consciousness and attaining some form of higher meaning.
There is a common thread in all of us which is independent of race, creed, gender or orientation which becomes foundational in all religions that seek truth.
Even if we don't attain truth fully through any sect of faith, at least we congregate together for warmth and support while we wait for the answer.
