Or perhaps imagining a god is a way for people to give meaning to what could otherwise be perceived as a meaningless existence. If our brains thought that life was meaningless, we might not have a drive to survive. That could definitely be the evolutionary function that you are seeking. However, it doesn't mean that an actual god exits.

Basically you're saying that religion is mass hallucination and fantasy on a global scale. So does that make God real then? I mean, tens of millions of people belive in George Bush, that must mean war is good, right? And conspicuous consumption has always been the answer, right?
