I don’t really think its connected to religion. It is just a way to ease your thoughts. It is just that religions attached this thing to themselves. Just as we cannot say that good deeds are connected to religion just because they have been saying to do them for many years. They are independent from them and are completely human nature.
Thanks and Regards
