Perhaps you could provide the search query terms which will lead me to an empirical study confirming your hypothesis? I'm not sure what to search to find your evidence for you.
Yeah let me get right on that so you can just move the goalposts.
Here look at me doing it anyway because it took like 30 seconds

Your hypothesis was that people use religion to explain the unknown, while this study concludes that religious people are more likely to judge the unknown as unknowable. Needless to say, one cannot explain the unknowable. Therefore, your hypothesis is countered by this evidence.
Once again, science proves that tidy little stories atheists make up to explain the world around us are just that - stories. Next time, I'd suggest avoiding speculation you can't back up with empirical research.
