How so? Can you back up that claim? How so? Can you back up that claim?

How can you back-up the claim that man did not make God? Every single religion has started because humanity chose to answer their existence when they started to develop mentally. We are the most intelligent and innovative race on this planet. Why wouldn't we create such a cultural and imaginative idea that is religion? Is that really so far-fetched to you?Because as far as i'm concerned, every religion has started with someone winning over the masses in one way or the other. Just look at the Prophet Muhammad. Islam started with him. Before him, there was no such thing as Islam. Yet, look at it now. It has a large following and has made a cultural impact on the world.Religion is a manmade construct. Specifically, religion is a political tool to subvert the masses with blind religious fervour. Religion loathes anything that does not include their view on things (e.g: science), and say that their God/s has told them not to believe such heathen ways. In other words, the religious leaders don't want to lose their influence, so they try to keep their followers indoctrinated as much as they can. That is why so many fundamental issues like abortion, Stem Cell research and other ideas committed to progress and humanism are still so fiercely debated. Religion is the destroyer of progress.
