Are you familiar with Leary's
The Politics of Ecstasy? There's no ebook version, but it does go over "why do we have religions; what do they do for people."

Science is the systematic attempt to record and measure the energy process and the sequence of energy transformations we call life. The goal is to answer the basic questions in terms of objective, observed, public data. Religion is the systematic attempt to provide answers to the same questions subjectively, in terms of direct, incontrovertible, personal experience.

A religion is a set of the same answers (or very similar answers) to the
7 basic spiritual questions.
