religion supplies an ethical system
as well as answers to the questions you pose
it posits that there is something bigger and greater than we can perceive
I believe religion gets hijacked by power players so easily because there is a natural impulse to wonder about reality beyond what we can perceive
the power aspect gets out of hand and some reject everything about religion, even the good stuff, like community building
it is my belief that utopian politics is a religion substitute
“When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.”
GK Chesterton
