That fact that humans have invented religion throughout time suggests that they've always wanted to believe that something happens to their loved ones after they die, it's human instinct really. It was also used to explain things that couldn't be explained and to take power over people by priests or kings.

I completely agree with that.  Even today, humans try to explain things that we dont understand, and making something up is a lot easier than saying we dont know.  String theory comes to mind.
