If you get any group of humans, children or adult, together, they will play games, perhaps in the form of dancing, sports, parlour games, or social rituals. Humans love to make up complex, fairly arbitrary rules just to test their wits against each other. Religion with its memorised myths and rituals is just such an one-upmanship game.
