Religious Belief Is Human Nature?

So CNN has an article on Religious Belief Is Human Nature, Huge New Study Claims. I don't know if I necessarily believe in that, or that the result necessarily support that point, for that matter. I believe that human, with our consciousness and because of our attachment to the existential world, would definitely like to think that there is a cause/reason for all these (life, etc.); that there will be life after death; that life after death will hopefully be able to answer questions that we can't at our current stage. That said, even the article itself had pointed out, the purpose of the study was not to proof whether God, gods or an afterlife exist. It is important to keep in mind that, just because we desperately want something to be true does not make it true.
