I figure religions are so important to so many people, that the need for
religion must spring from some basic need common to all people. My
theory is that there is a force in the universe, that I can only
describe as "The Tendency Toward Organization", that is a counter to
Entropy (the tendency toward dissolution or chaos).

It's only a local counter towards Entropy, as it receives energy from some
external source moving towards Entropy (ie. the sun). But, in general, I
agree. That tendency is pretty much the definition of biological
evolution, in fact.
