Who created religion?
400389
Catholicism:Jesus\nProtestantism:Martin Luther\nIslam:Muhammed\nBuddism: Buddha\nThe list goes on. Although all religions were founded by people, each one generally believes that this is more than just an ordinary person. Some religions believe their founder is God, others believe he is a prophet. The fact that they were created by humans does not take away from their correctness. Older religions are not necessarily closer to God, although that seems like the basic trend.

"So many religions": that just proves that Man's underlying need for religion is pretty common. Feelings of vulnerability, purposelessness, loneliness, and a need to belong are probably a universal part of the human condition. So Man created God (in his own image) to compensate for these shortcomings. \nWhich doesn't necessarily mean that Christians have got it all wrong, just soem of it!\nAnd no, they are not all Devil Worshippers. Only the Devil Worshippers are!

It is interesting that, with the exception of the Mormons (an off-shoot of the Christian religion), no major religion has been formed since the age of modern science. Think about it! All major religions were created before people knew that the Earth is round. There was one fellow in Texas that tried to start a new religion. His name was David Koresh. We know how that turned out.

religion is a man made way of controlling the masses and god, in any format, was invented by man not the other way around so there will be no punishment for disbelieving

religion is the practice of worshiping  something. Man was created with the desire to worship God....man has supressed his knowlegde of God and selected other images to worship. So "religion" or the desire to worship came from God.

I think this question should be in religion, don't you?\nIt started with the catholic faith.

Sure, I think the answer to both questions is yes. Religion was created to conquer a fear of death and religion was created to control people. However, aside from religion, a man rose from the dead and this man is named Jesus. Something is remarkably different about this person and you can read about him in the Christian Bible. This one event shows that there is more to a religion than a mere belief or control. God has a plan for our lives and God made himself known throughout history.

It depends what you mean. If you mean when did people start to worship a God or Goddess, then evidence of early pagan religions have been found in cave paintings! So a long long long time ago\n\nEDIT: Just thought if you mean when did organised religion start, I know that Egyptian civilization can be traced back as far as 5000 bc ish, I think that when the very early form of their religion came into being. Not sure if theres any that are older.

All religion is made up.  All religious concepts were created by man.  Limbo is a myth.  Christianity is a myth.  The bible is fiction.

We don't need to speculate on the history of religion in general, or Christianity in particular.  We have a pretty good grasp of how these ideas evolved over time already.\n\nReligion didn't start out as a way to explain the world, that came later, religion started out as a way of honoring the sun, which was viewed as the bringer of life.  It evolved from there to what we see today.\n\nThe ideas attributed to Jesus were not original even in Hellenistic Judaism.

Well when I was in catholic school they said around 6,000 years ago, around the same time god created everything.\n\nBut now I side with reason over faith and will state that creation is a nice story and nothing more.

God is the Creator. He was here from he begining. He created the univers, and everything in it. Email me: moccasinsister@yahoo.com. He died for our sins so that we can spend eternal life with Him.

None, it was created by man for several reasons - to control and conquer, to explain things that man can't explain yet, for reasons of hope and to use God to teach moral values.

While I don't place any stock in the Biblical creation story, it is silly to say that Adam belonged to any religion whatsoever. There were no religions at the time stated in the Bible. Even Judaism didn't start until Abraham.

Religions come from people representing\nGod.  Creation comes from God.\n\nFor the most part, religions are tools that\nmankind uses to nail down something, that's\nnot supposed to be nailed down, to begin with.\n\nWorship life in Truth and in Spirit.
