They didn't know what the heck was going on, so they most likely thought that the gods were angry at them. Or something.

Exactly. And Religion was also formed by early governments as a law structure. For example: The 10 commandments were just a way of stopping crime, because if people think that they're going to pay for it with their souls, they're not going to do it, or so the theory goes.
