It exists because lots of people find meaning in it. As far as I can see, the western world is the only place that discounts religion to myth, probably because we now find meaning in science. The rest of the world is highly 'spiritual' and seems to value experiences, whereas, in industrialised countries, knowledge and intellect reign supreme. We all place meaning for existence and life on something, whether that be chance, God, Allah, Animism, etc.
So, religion exists because a large number of people find meaning in it. And you asked why it still exists because you were brought up in this culture.
