    The child finds the adoption of the cultural norms of his society valuable
    by allowing him to fit in and become a part of it. There is a genetic need
    to belong to a tribe and religion or a belief system is one of the things
    that defines the tribes to which we belong. Not fitting in causes fear and
    anxiety. Not having a tribe can kill you.
