Very good questions that go to the heart of the issue.
1) Are "religious" people human? Why are their needs so very different from yours?
There is little difference but the Bible was not written simply by religious people.
As look at the books of the Bible you find different parts written by different people from differing communities and with different objectives. For example, if you look at Genesis you find that is is a compilation and compendium of various oral (or perhaps written) traditions from different perspectives. Part of it is written from the perspective of a Priestly Class trying to design a bureaucracy, others by Nationalists trying to create a Nation, still others reflect the varying points of view of the settled farmers versus the nomadic herdsmen.
2) What is the need of humanity that differs from the need of the "religious"?
It's not so much an us versus them situation. Rather it's more of a detective story. What is not included is as significant as what is included.
What we see in John in particular is an effort to revise the prior Gospels to change the orientation from a Jewish Sect into a Christian Religion. In Job we see two themes, one from a Priestly Class trying to explain why bad things happen to good people, the other telling folk that if something bad does happen, it's because GOD wants it that way.
