See the above cartoon. We humans are machines that love to find patterns in things even when there aren't any. I have a strong suspicion that this is the origin of both religion and conspiracy theories and why they are so popular. It's a feature that's turning into a bug.
Also, about the democracy thing...I hope you're joking. Direct democracy would be madness on any sort of medium-to-large scale. We'd be voting every week. Amongst other problems, such as the "tyranny of the majority".
