Question

i don't think there is a percentage anyway, am i wrong ?!

Answer 1

The origin of religion in general and for particular religions is usually controversial, since religions often claim of themselves to have been derived directly from information supplied by god(s) to choosen human messanger(s). Followers of the religion (by definition) accept the claims. However followers of a particular religion may however have no difficulty in suggesting human origins for the hundreds of other practiced religions.

It appears that religion was practiced before the invention of writing, with stories passed down orally from one generation to the next. Evidence for religious ideas can be found in elaborate burial practices in which valuable objects were left with the deceased, perhaps intended for use in an afterlife or to appease the gods. This reached its most spectacular form with the creation of the pyramids of Giza and the other great tombs of ancient Eygpt. It's possible to speculate on religion developing gradually, from stories originally created for entertainment or told to children, elaborated over generations and eventually accepted as fact.

Religions created in modern times are often reasonably well documented (e.g., Scientology.) Reasons for the creation of religions seem to include desire to obtain wealth and power over others. It's easy to speculate that similar forces were at work in the creation of earlier religions: often state politics is also likely to have been an important factor. It has been suggested that humans are particularly easily influenced by religious ideas because they feed various emotional needs such as the need to feel loved or the need for justice.

What constitutes a religion is a debated topic, subject to much dispute in the field of theology. We might begin by defining religion as a system of beliefs based on man's attempt to explain the universe and natural phenomena, often ascribing agency to one or more deities or other supernatural forces. Religions tend to attract adherents who gather to celebrate holy days and to pray. Most religions also have a code of laws to be followed, like the Ten Commandments, or many of the books listed below.

There are several objective scientific approaches to religion to answer questions such as why religious belief is ubiquitous in every society. In neurology, work by scientists such as Ramachandran and his colleagues from the University of California at San Diego [1] has found evidence of brain circuitry in the temporal lobe that gives rises to religious experiences. In sociology, Rodney Stark has looked at the social forces that have caused religions to grow and the features of religions that have been most successful. In evolutionary psychology, scientists consider the survival advantages that religion might have had in the hunter-gatherer societies.

Religions are systems of belief which deal with the supernatural - what happens to us when we die, the nature of Deity (or Deities) (cf God) and our relationship therewith. Most religions begin when Deity intervenes in the lives of a person or group, enlightening them and establishing a superior way of life leading to internal peace in this life and qualification for some kind of Heaven after this life.

Religions deal with the (more or less) divergent lifestyles espoused by other religions in several ways. Religions with more closed sets of beliefs may label all others wrong, corruptions or counterfeits of the true faith. More open religions praise all belief systems as beneficial.

Religions usually have charismatic leaders, such as Martin Luther, Billy Graham, Mohandas Gandhi, Muhammad, the Buddha, etc.

Ever since the dawn of mankind, around 40,000 years ago, when God revealed the possiblity of his existence to mankind by giving humans a powerful imagination, people have wondered about their origins. Where did we come from? Who created us? Over the centuries, to answer these very basic questions, our storytellers have invented many myths, stories and dogmas. Religions are simply the outgrowth of these ancient myths and dogmas handed down from generation to generation and formalized into faiths, rituals and traditions.

Human Imagination, mankind's "special sense", is the power that separates mankind from all the other animals on Earth - it is made possible by a powerful brain, capable of comprehending the wonders of nature and the world we live in. Mankind now had the power to begin to comprehend the beauty that surrounded it. Something must have created all this magnificient beauty. I can "see" for myself, through my imagination, the beauty of its creations - it is everywhere I look. In order to understand the true nature of God, the Creator of the universe, we must separate the myths of mankind from the physical evidence of God's existence.

"God" or "Y-H-W-H" or "Allah", etc. as we call this infinitely powerful creative force, knows no bounds and exists everywhere, nothing is impossible for this creative power, its power extends - even beyond the universe.

Evidence of God's existence is all around us - the primary evidence of God's existence is the beauty of its creations that we can see and experience. The beauty and splendor of nature lies before us to behold and comprehend. Mankind's imagination - through the invention of the wireless communication, the telescope, microscope and scientific investigation, has allowed mankind to peer into secret exotic worlds of cosmology, physics, chemistry, microbiology, electromagnetic spectrum, etc. that we never even knew existed before. Something created all this physical phenomena and natural wonders that we constantly encounter (and there may be more that we haven't discovered yet).
Something created the physical laws of nature (physics, chemistry and biology) that guide everything within the universe, including mankind! Our lives are completely dominated by the laws of inertia and gravity (and all the other laws of nature). We cannot see the laws but we certainly know they exist by the effects they produce. (The law of gravity will make us - if we are not constantly supported by the floor or ground, immediately become weightless and began accelerating toward the center of the earth.)

God created the universe by creating the Laws of Nature - where these laws end - the universe ends. We can use Nature's laws for our benefit but if we don't use them wisely they can quickly bring catastrophe. The laws exist everywhere within the universe and are completely invariant, we have the power to use them - but we cannot break any law of nature! . By understanding the laws of nature we are beginning to learn the true nature of God.

God governs through his physical laws - his laws are perfect and invariant - they are unbreakable. God's physical laws created the universe. Everything within the universe are governed by these laws. The unique character and nature of the universe are created by the laws of nature. What would be our universe be without inertia or gravity or for that matter - biology? No stars or life (as we know it) could exist without these fundamental laws of nature.

Religions are simply rules for living our lives morally. Rules made so that we are able to get along with each other - under the threat of eternal damnation or eternal happiness in heaven. Mankind creates political and religious rules - God creates the physical laws. We can choose, whether or not, we wish to obey mankind's rules - but we must obey God's laws (nature's laws) - we have no choice in that area.

Religions are simply the outgrowth of ancient myths and dogmas handed down from generation to generation and formalized into faiths, rituals and traditions. They are tremendously powerful influences that control and guide the lives of billions of people in the world today. Some have done tremendous harm over the ages, (wars, inquisitions, torture, terrorism, and even human sacrifice) and some have done tremendous good by creating beautiful religious traditions and civilized moral codes (the ten commandments, etc.) to guide their followers.

Just be careful which myths and dogmas you follow. You can either choose to believe these stories or not. Just remember they are all put forth by human storytellers. Religions do have a definite place in our society for moral guidance, marriage rituals and burial services, etc. - but never take religion too literally (or seriously) - there is no proof of physical evidence that any of these myths are true.

Throughout the ages of mankind there have always been storytellers (prophets, priests, mullahs, etc.) who have created myths and magical fantasies in trying to explain the mysteries that surrounded them. Basically mankind is a storytelling animal - people have created stories to answer every possible question that has ever occurred to mankind whether there is or is not any evidence. The prophets and storytellers, since ancient times, have always tried to explain the mysteries that they encountered in life - by creating Gods.
The God of lightning, the God of thunder, etc. etc.. To get peoples attention and make their stories much more powerful these storytellers claim to have a direct link with God or their Gods. God talks to no one - anyone who says God talked to him or her - is either mentally disturbed or telling stories. Mankind is full of these storytellers!

The storytellers created powerful myths and dogmas to guide people in a moral and civilized manner or just to control people to do their bidding, by saying their stories were the 'Word of God' or this is the "Will of God" or you will go to Hell if you don’t follow these teachings. (These are all extremely powerful concepts that have strongly influenced people throughout the ages.)

As for "knowing" if a true supreme infinitely intelligent all powerful ‘Creative Power’ really exists, a ‘Power’ that created everything within our universe. There is plenty of physical evidence all over the place that there is, just open your eyes and look around.

Answer 2

God did not create a religion. Religion is man made, not God made. Jesus established a Church and placed it into Peter's hands to lead

Answer 3
