Yes, I agree.
Religion is a man made tool to help us better deal with and explain life's mysteries and how to deal with problems. It works very well for some - other's not so much. Many humans find that an answer agreed to by many other humans is comforting and helps them get on with the important work of life with confidence and trust in the process of life. Others use religion as a political tool to try and create their ideal world.
You may not need religion and I may not need organized religion - but those questions are still there for many of us. Questions like "why am I here", "what am I supposed to do in this difficult situation", "what happens when we die" and "how can I improve my life". For many people, finding answers to these questions gives a sense of peace that allows folks to excel in life.
Unfortunately, there is also a lot of negativity that comes from religions, but ultimately it seems the good outweighs the bad.
Peace!

Great question! I guess we would have to first come to a consensus of what God is. I believe that since all things consist of energy, then it is natural to assume that God is energy. That would coincide with the notion that God is in every thing. Man was made in the image of God. God is the way the truth and the light... If this is true and the greatest minds have deduced that everything has evolved from star dust, all things are God, including man. That would mean that God is neither good bad or indifferent, it just is. So back to your question. Sense all things including man is God and man created religion you could say God has religion. As for your second question, Why do we need religion? I believe it's mans attempt to understand it's self and all that is. I don't think we as a speeches have or ever will evolve enough to answer these questions. I think that religions that say they have the answers are the one's to stay clear of. Spirituality is another thing entirely. In my opinion, being in harmony with yourself and the world around you is the best place we can be. Knowing the power of attraction is essential to our happiness. When we put positive energy out in to the world we attract positive reactions in return. The same things goes with negative energy. We have the power to realize our goals, after all, we are, the all mighty.

In the Vedic Literature it is said that, dharmam tu sakshat bhagavat-pranitam,means Religions is that which is given by God
Religion means the order of the Supreme Lord,the codes given by God, what is created by God, to re-establish relationship with the Supreme Lord.
Religion is common for all whether you are Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim. The real purpose of life is to know God. Religion is not made by man. It is just like the state law which is the orders given by the government. Ordinary man does not make the law. Similarly, the very definition of religion is the orders given by God. So we must know God, and we must know what is His order, and we should abide by the order.One can take up any religion according to one's inclination be it Christian, Islam, Hindu or anything but should follow that religion striclty.

God has no religion. Religion is made by us for the law.

Yes. God knows no religion, Its only the man who with his idle mind has invented religion.
The real God will only recognise good and bad people.
He will not be called God if he accepts bad people in his so called religion and rejects good people from other religion.
Thats why God has no religion.

I don't think he cares at all about religion, but many people disagree as how to show God love, and respect, therefore vastly different religions have created secular boundries.

God has no religion because HE IS THE RELIGION and He created us so we would worship him alone. Choose your path, im have cos I would rather put some effort to get the the "cool" end of it all.

Religion means how we live our life. God is Incorporeal so He has no body and so does not live a life on earth. His characteristic are of peace,love,happiness. He is the Ocean of Knowledge,love,peace,bliss ,happiness and Purity.

We have one religion that is the religion of humanity.It is the basic thing that is deepen in every subreligion what we know as religion of each country.Almighty God parted Him in different parts there by different group of people followed to His respective incaration .Each group formed one religion which is directly linked with God.In our world each religion is different but similarity in them is that each says love to humanity.But there is reason behind it partition of world to different religion and also partition of God to different form.That is to learn every human being in this world about living unite in diversity.Everything of God to teach and flourish us in His land.
