To add my own 2 cents:
Not everyone has the same desires. From a Marxist-Leninist view, religion, like many social constructs, persists because it advances the interests of the ruling class. Most people don't want to be slaves, but if (for example) your religion's holy book has a passage telling slaves to obey their masters, that aligns with the desires of slaveowners so the slaveowning class is gonna promote that religion.
It's worth specifying that this is only going to necessarily be true of the majority religion, and minority religions may or may not be compatible (see for instance Rome's treatment of early Christians).
