As our emotions are strong, and our minds are typically weak, fragmented and incoherent. Typically, a modern human believes in many incompatible things at once. Humans very often combine religious and materialistic thinking or lack thereof. Many humans partly allow for the existence of the god somewhere, of soul somewhere and most of the time they prefer not to think of these matters. Sometimes they return to thinking about god in a time of crisis and helplessness, beg him for help (human god is often imagined to be a human male elder) or try to make a deal with him. Since there is no feedback, the humans judge whether the deal has been accepted by the god by analyzing the dynamics of their problems and events. If the problem is solved they often would consider the deal accepted by the god. If the problem persists, they may decide that the god is angry at them. Basically, a typical idea of human god is of a virtual parent who behaves very humanly, demands compliance, and sometimes is pleased or, more often, angry.
Fragmentation of the human mind is not by choice. The human mind, by design, is easily programmable, so the parents, peers, and schooling program it to become fragmented. Punishment, pain and trauma are typically used to fragment a child's mind. Compliance with the traditional mindset is rewarded by society while unconventional thinking is punished.
Clearly, these are painful, old, inefficient and disadvantageous ways of thinking and educating children. In recent years, humanity goes through an integration process that involves and evolves many facets of life. This is called awakening and ascension.
