If a thought, idea or belief is a manifestation of the human brain then every experience is such a manifestation.
Why not ask the question - Is religion a form of social control.
It gets you out of the cerebral and neurological arena which is never safe.

Accepting your arguement that God is solely a manufestation of human innovations answer me: How come distinctive cultures international, even the place one team became into not attentive to others, have been worshipping a skill as their author in some form or the different? no rely if this is a manufestation of human innovations - there would desire to be atleast few communities who does not have have been given entangled in God believing circle. Is there any? If sure, that are they? Is it achieveable that each and every person communities - scattered international huge without understanding one yet another - conlude at a unmarried factor that finally ends up interior the belief of God?

My opinion is a very simple one... I believe that "Religion", in all of it's varying forms and often complex theologies, was and is an attempt to answer questions that we just can't answer. I believe that our drive for religious understanding mirrors our drive for scientific understanding. The underlying and common factor being "understanding". We want to understand, we want answers, we want to feel the sense of comfort that comes with order. I personally don't believe in a "god", higher power, fate, reincarnation, or an "afterlife". I do believe that we would be better off as a "global" society if we took all of the time, energy, and money we spend on our "religions", and more specifically religious disagreements, and put those resources towards solving our everyday problems that affect us all equally. Regardless of what you believe, there are very "human" needs that are not being resolved, or even considered, but affect people globally...

Many people think that God and religion in general are just coping mechanisms invented to make sense of an imperfect world and to deal with death.
I personally don't feel that way, but I can see why others might.

My opinion:
The fact that we have an impulse to live a good life is in itself a reason to believe in God. If we were all just animals in a Godless universe, morality would be selected out of the gene pool, because it is often in conflict with the primal urges to survive and to reproduce. I believe our desire to live a moral life is God-inspired.

maybe god is real but religion is made up by man to promote living a civil life

If this question could be readily answered, seriously, and actually truthfully, we'd all really be on to something. The fact is, those with faith will answer with a resounding "no" and those without may answer in the affirmative.

Some people need the fear of God to be a decent person, so yeah, it's true in certain cases.

Totally agree.
Although, some religious people are not exactly acting civilised today.
