Religion, mythology and probably anything mystical. It's very easy why people believe in them, they're so alluring and genuinely wish they had truth to them. Unfortunately the only truth to be found is ancient wisdom, and even that can be very iffy sometimes.

I've always held that the true purpose of religion is to create atheists, and not in the modern edge lord I reject your god way.
