The gods and goddesses of ancient cultures; be it Egypt, Greek or Rome are the basis for our modern religions today. They helped shape culture and protect people from themselves when they were unruly. The ancient priests/priestresses where smart enough that they knew they needed these 'higher powers' to look to for guidance - so thus they were created.
