IS GOD REAL? Or is he just another primitive theory that's lasted?

People believe in a god or gods because it gives their simple minds security. They fear death so they believe in a god that has an afterlife so when they die they think that everything won't just go black. Religion gives people some kind of crutch so they can do some bad things, say they did some religious ritual and get off scott-free. Also, most kids believe in their parent's religion because it has been constanly beat into their mind that they have the same Mass-hysteria that their parents have.
