Daniel, there are clowns. 
Yes, I agree that we as a species have a natural tendency to try to explain things that we don't understand. God or gods have traditionally filled this role. The more we have come to better understand, the further away the mechanistic domain of the divine moves.

Why is the wrath of an omniscient being required to keep you from murder and thievery? Is it not objectively better to live in peace and treat others as how you would want? The fear of God is not necessary for order and peace, these things happen because of people who understand this concept of reciprocity and apply it.
