Whilst it is fairly obvious there is an element of leaders using it for controlling the people, it doesn't mean that the basis is invalid.
But by the nature of spiritual matters there is no obvious proof: although if you took the time to experience, with an open mind, the evidence given by good mediums you may find there are things for which the most simple answer is that there is more to existence than this material world; and start to be less dismissive of groups who try to explain their beliefs regarding it.
But ultimately your question isn't a reasonable one. It boils down to, "I think this impossible to prove thing is untrue, can anyone prove this impossible to prove thing is true to me ?"
Or I suggest you wait until you depart this mortal coil and discover what actually is, for yourself.

Actually I think you are half right.
I believe that when man first became sentient and realised they were different from baser animals they needed a reason for being. If all life was nothing but survival and death then there seemed to be no reason to it.
So in order to make sence of their being they made the decision to believe that there must be something better waiting to take the pain and drudge out of life. Thus religion was born.
Because this was done at a relatively early stage in our evolutionary life it became ingrained within us to at the very least WANT something more and not want the finality of death. Otherwise what's the point?
