We, as a species, are prone to fabricate explanations for things rather than leave holes in our knowledge. It's just plain uncomfortable to have blind spots or gaps in our minds, and we will fill these voids with whatever is most convenient.
Before the advent of science, religious theories about our origins were the most convenient. -

Bicameralism is at least more humanistic and has a better overall view of human nature. But it's also totally possible that some people just straight up fabricated it all so that they could gain the upper hand. -

Of course, it's wildly speculative, but it's a neat theory about the origins of theological thinking. -
