It was a bunch of guys setting around a table a long time ago getting drunk and trying to figure out a way to get power and riches their own way, since the kings, queens & dictators already pretty much had a monopoly on it. They figured out they could start religion and take advantage of people's natural superstitions and fear of the unknown. The could create a structure independent of monarchs and dictators and still enjoy all the benefits of power, prestige and riches. Plus they could promise something they would never have to deliver on. Life after death!
