My dad, a person who has spent much of his Italian life being force fed the catholic montras, got super high once and told me, 'u know what I think religion is for? I think the rich created it, so the poor have something to look forward to after they die'
I lol'd and said, I think youre on the right track, but your positive mental attitude is getting in the way of the real answer.

In the beginning, back on the African plains, people shared. There was no concept of a single god, boss, ruler, or king. In fact since early human tribes shared so much (wealth, nature, and knowledge), their concept of god was in actuality EVERYTHING AROUND THEM – the land, the animals, the air – everything was 'god' and it was inconceivable that any man would GIVE POWER to another man to RULE over him. But then there was a discovery. A small group of wise-men discovered the timing of the SOLAR ECLIPSE, a celestial event that, up until that time had never been witnessed before. They did however reason that the event would block some or all of the mid-days sunlight from the sky and they theorized that the blackened mid-day sky would be terrifying to those that did not KNOW what was happening – and of course nobody would know what was happening......besides them....
Weeks before the eclipse began the wise men decided to warn everyone in their tribe and theneighboring tribes that they were soon going to be visited by 'the snake-god' who was going to EAT THE SUN. They also warned that after the snake god ate the sun, he would then continue on and eat the Earth next – UNLESS the people GAVE the wise men the POWER to protect them. However the people, of course, did not believe such a ridiculous warning/revelation.
Reguardless, the deception of the SOLAR ECLIPSE was kept SECRET --- a word that that had never even been invented yet. In a few weeks the day arrived, the mid-days sun turned black as the moon moved in front of the sun blocking it out – the terrified masses, in a FREAK PANIC, thought the wise mens tale was true – the snake god WAS coming to eat the Earth. They then BEGGED the wise men to protect them from the evil serpent god and in a virtual instant, the MANY people WILLINGLY GAVE all power to these FEW wise men in exchange for 'protection'. The wisemen then made the snake god go away with their 'magic words' (allegorically represented later in the Bible with the words 'let their be light')– and the people willingly gave all power to a FEW individuals.
THE HEIRARCHIAL SOCIETY (society) WAS BORN. And the world would never be the same. Realizing that the eclpise gave the wise men this ultimate power, they forever worshipped the sun (nature) and the eclipse. This accounts for all of the 'sun symbolism' of the occult.
