And, therefore, it's quite likely that the same thing happened with yours? After all, people all over the world, throughout time, have done it.

*this is a VERY good question...I personally think they are all made up but can't wait to see what other people say.

You make a fine opening statement.
Yes, many religions are indeed, made up by man.
But to go from there and say .....quite likely its the same with yours, is quite a leap!
"Quite likely" does not mean it was.
May I quote something from the founder of Christianity?
"Broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and MANY are the ones going in through it, whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and FEW are the ones finding it.
Matthew 7:13.
So yes, many religions are leading people in the wrong direction.
However, there are a few, apparently, who are a part of the relgion 'made up' by Jesus.

most, if not all, religions have similarities and the governments you live under have those same similarities. Anyone who states it is "made up" is ignorant to what it's made up FROM (don't read that as "God").
Most religions origins are from meditative practices. Funny, meditation only seems to exist to a small group of people but is THE most important aspect of all religions, christians, buddhist, muslim, or even atheist. Yes, even an atheist has a "made up" religion. It's called "existence" and is the same as everyone else's. "Beliefs" are the wacky parts.

all religions are made up; religions are relatinoships with spirituality. Like relationships with people, they cannot exist until you meet the people which whom you will have relationships.
I make up mine as I explore my own path.
