Religion is an Institution setup to meet various and specific needs. What needs a particular religious institution will meet will depend on the intent of the people who set it up. For example, if the people who set it up are members of the Accumulating Class, then religion will typically prioritize their needs.

Notes
Religion may be broken down into two sub-classes, Elite Religion and Authentic Religion. Elite religion prioritizes the needs of the Accumulating Class while Authentic Religion prioritizes the Seven Essential Needs of humanity.
Religion is a notoriously difficult concept to pin down and, frankly, scholars have said some really stupid shit about it over the years, Sigmund Freud being a classic example. Freud believed that religion arises as a consequence of
- an expression of the son-father relationship (see totem and taboo, related to religions where "totem animals" become sacred)[1]
- the need to defend oneself against the "crushingly superior force of nature."[2]
- The "urge to rectify the shortcoming of civilization..."[3]
