What are reasons that we human beings seek faith?
According to studies I have yet to cite sources of, being religious is humanly normal and being irreligious is humanly novel.
I believe humans have sought faith for the following reasons:
-To seek strength and guidance because they feel weak and misguided
-To explain the unexplained such as how humans and trees were created and how the solar system, galaxies and space were created
-It could be what their conscience tells them
-They believe there is a place we go after we die
But, let us ask this question, "What is faith?"

Generally, it is defined as a belief held without evidence. Yet, why do humans have faith and why do they believe in something that has not been proven yet?
