Why are we here?

A 1999 gallop poll indicated that 87% believed God played a role in our exsistence.

Why is it that the vast majority of Americans believe God played some part in the creation of life? Perhaps the reasons have less to do with ideology and more to do with ones sense of purpose. Is it better to believe in an imperfect something than an absolute nothing? For if God did not play a role in our creation and we are just by products of happen stance, then what is the point of our existence? I submit that ones beliefs in the origins of life are inexplicably tied to ones hopes for the future.
