It amazes me how little religion has really changed over time. The way we practice it has, but the religion itself is still true to its roots. Almost every  religion has one thing in common: guilt. It keeps us in line when we think a higher being is watching us. Also, people have always wished for a better tommorrow, and the promise of a heaven keeps them going. I think that being alone in such a vast world can be terrifying, and having an explanation for everything is comforting. I am sure that that is a large part of the reason that the Spanish and Indian religions merged, as they needed that hope to carry on in hard times.
