"could become" doesnt really apply here, if there is no time, there is no thought.. thought is a constructive progress.. the whole notion of a "time dimension" is sorely skewed here. there is no "time", just causality between elements. if causality stops so would any form of consciousness.
Proving that nerves behave as if to operate by electricity at certain experiments and as sound at different times, dubbing the phenomena sound-electrical-nerve-duality.. only to be explained years later by quantum-physiology
All the comments I see here regard how a belief system directly helps the individual, but humans have been living in and relaying on larger groups for a long time. what about reasons like:
the fear of vengeance from an unseen god allows for creating larger communities without the need for constant human policing
the belief in a greater being allows for people to sacrifice their time and skills to construct great feats that promote the general good
I bet there are many more, genetic traits rarely have a single purpose. If such communities survive due to their biological inclination to believe in god then it makes sense.
