according to some religions we created the world with our thoughts. That would mean god and heaven are real. Do you agree?

Looks like a Buddhist saying. I think no, that we don't create the world with our thoughts either individually or collectively. I reject it as a materialist but even if one were to argue that sense data can't give us certain knowledge of an independent external reality (physical or social) the evidence of observation does enable us to perceive actions and consequences, draw analogues, and recognise entities and relationships in such a way that we can explain and predict them. Moving away from philosophy (or metaphysics?), which I'm a feeb at, saying that the world exists independently of us doesn't imply that we can't influence it through our interactions. We can and we do change the world by our decisions and actions, sometimes profoundly.

Do I agree that some religions believe we create the world with our thoughts? Wouldn't supprise me, I've heard more bizzar concepts in religion like god created everything and crap like that. Does any of that mean that god and heaven are real. Nnnnnnnnno.

The gods other religions worship are not the same as the God of Abraham. Those that believe the world was created by human thought would automatically believe their gods were created by the same process. I would not doubt that such beings exist, but I would not worship them, since I would have a problem putting faith in their true deity.

God and Heaven are real, but human thoughts didn't create them.

No. Can't agree with that.
God created the world, and we who live on it.
With our thoughts we may create our own reality, but God is real whether we think of Him or not.

That is secular humanism. New age stuff. If it were really true, so many thoughts at the same time would probably blow everything and everyone into a million pieces. Then who's thoughts would bring us back. Oh! I know God's.

you have to look at the 4th word of your explanation...religions...I 'religiously' brush my teeth every morning and night, that's got NOTHING to do with God and the relationship that He wants to have with us.
Yes I agree that God and Heaven are real but not by the reasoning that you gave.

I highly doubt that there are any religions that espouse this, but you might be right. Wish you'd named them, though.
Following that logic, God and Heaven are real for those who believe in them, obviously. It works for them. Doesn't mean it works for everyone else.

the law of reciprocation
We give as we get.
We see as we wish.
Many people consider the world as a very large mutually agreed upon reality.
Some who are called crazy or insane do not have the view and do not agree with the mutual reality.

We can create our OWN world.
