Humans are curious. We've always wanted to know what those little dots of light in the sky are. We used to make up stories to explain them... but now we don't have to, we can figure it out using our knowledge of matter and physics, make predictions to check whether those are correct, basically the scientific method... religion is not necessary to explain why we look at the sky, nor why we feel we have to be decent people for that matter, or why we would like to know where everything came from and where we're going. Simply being consciuous and rational and curious is enogh for all that.
