The humorous yet serious nature of your question, combined with its very subject matter suggests to me you might really enjoy Chesterton's Everlasting Man. The full text is available online here: http://www.worldinvisible.com/library/chesterton/everlasting/content.htm
If you're like me, you'll want to buy a copy so you can highlight stuff and add some notes in the margins :-)
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
I believe that belief in a higher power is a natural state of man.
