Both are baseless bullshit spread to dumb people as real.

Religion solves a problem for people. The question of "where do we go when we die?" Religion helps people mourn dead loved ones. Believing in religion helps some people behave better when they're following the ten commandments. Some people have deeply religious experiences thru meditation. Some people have deeply religious experiences thru prayer. Some people have experienced Near Death Experiences, and came back believing in a higher power (these possibly can be explained thru science and what the brain does when it begins to shut down, sure).

You don't necessarily NEED religion to be a good person, obviously. You can have your own morals and be a nice person without it. Some of us feel like we have a deep connection to our souls thru religion. It helps us get through the day or get over the hardships of life. For these people, their religion doesn't even have to be real. It's helping them and their mental health.
