Why do we have to accept the need for religion now, society should have moved on

Unrelated some will say. Really? Explain it please. People simply refuse to think about it, refuse to engage on the issue. Im eager to hear sensible rational and reasonable opinion but all I hear is people with fingers in their ears going 'bla bla im not listening, not happening! not happening!'.
