I've always wondered how things like religions get started.
One theory of mine: 2,000 years ago, paranoid schizophrenics were not diagnosed, drugged, or put in hospitals. They just wondered the earth telling everyone about the wonderful voices and visions they had...
Not all schizophrenics are violent and without the knowledge of it being a sickness, they could easily believe their visions as truths -- and determine that a "higher power" was talking to them.
