I can understand why people believed in god(s) when the rest of the world wasn't explained by science.
for example the sun moving across the sky.
"Apollo is pulling it across the sky with his chariot."
In ancient Greece, I would have accepted this as fact, because I would have not had another explanation and I would have know that horses can pull very big things across land, so why wouldn't some Horses made by god pull the sun?
Know I know the world is hemi-spherical and rotates on an axis and the sun moves relatively across the sky. Why would I now believe in apollo?
