Man created the concept of God and an afterlife because humans can't handle the possiblity that our existence has no purpose and that when you die, that's it, that's all, there is nothing more.
Religion is the opiate of the masses. It soothes us. We continue our potentially false beliefs because the alternative is so frightening and depressing that we can't handle it.
