I'm not a Christian so I can't answer your question, I just want to paraphrase Richard Dawkins. He said that we're all atheists about 99.9% of religions - some of us just go one god further.
But I'll answer yes to your question anyway.

No. I think people would, in this life would prefer to be evil if there were no ever lasting repercussions so then why invent a God to control that side of our nature? Laws would do that with out a God for the good of mankind.

Sure! Paul says in Romans that as man moved away to the further parts of the world he forgot God and began to worship the creature instead of the creator.That seems to be a normal defense when one is scared and ignorant.But God is absolutely real.All men basically,Paul says ,have eternity in their hearts.

People invent them all the time. Greek gods, Roman gods, etc...
Christians just don't want to admit that theirs was made up as well. :)

Before people learned to count, there were numbers. And yet, man had to 'invent' numbers, to realize that they had always been around!
Everything you understand (I mean really understand), has to be claimed, by your own personal discovery, or invention.
When I was in grade school, I learned about the number zero. The number exists, and it was invented. Zero represents 'nothing', therefor 'nothing' exists. (That is much different than saying, "Nothing exists".
God is not a 'thing', ergo God is nothing...so to speak...

yes they would, and there is a proof in the holly Quraan that even the people who don't believe in God, if they got lost in the sea they will face the sky & pray to Alla(God) & ask him to help them

no becaue we woudnt exist for them being able to invent these stuff. neither would satan would plays with peoples mind to invent these false gods..
Because of his unsound reasoning, Satan saw man as the main cause of his humiliation. Thus, he asked Allah for an amount of time to be able to mislead man, and thus, to take revenge upon him. His aim is to lead man away from the straight path, and by that, to make him rebellious towards Allah. It hurt his pride to see man exalted above him, and himself humbled. The story of Satan is related in the Qur' an as follows:
He (Allah) said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you to?"
He (Iblis) replied, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and You created him from clay."
He (Allah) said, "Descend from Heaven. It is not for you to be arrogant in it. So get out! You are one of the abased."
He (Iblis) said, "Grant me a reprieve until the day they are raised up."
He (Allah) said, "You are one of the reprieved."
He (Iblis) said, "By Your misguidance of me, I will lie in ambush for them on your straight path. Then I will come at them, from in front of them and behind them, from their right and from their left. You will not find most of them thankful." (Surat al-A' raf: 12-17)
, Iblis initiated his struggle against man. Within the time granted to him, he would employ any means to prevent mankind from Allah' s way, and to make them follow him. As a matter of fact, the Qur' an informs us that many follow Satan, and thus, are reduced to the lowest of the low. Since that time, Iblis has misled many and made them side with him. Aside from man, he has also had many followers among the jinn.

If there wasn't a God (1), then we wouldn't exist anyway, so what's your point.
