Can you not see that yahweh, god, allah, jesus and mohammed are all man made religions with male attributes? Why claim there is only one force that created it all? Why not call it the creating forces?

All religions are man made, or man invented, we as humans have been around for millions of years and there have been many religions created for man to follow, the ones that are followed now are just the latest dreamed up in only the last 2000 years, at least this batch of religions have done away with human sacrifice, maybe one day hatred, violence and terrorism between the different religions will also be done away with, then perhaps we atheists can feel safe from all of the fanatics from all faiths and live in relative peace as we did for millions of years before this lot of religions was thought of.

Yahweh, God, Allah, Jesus and Mohammed aren't religions. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are religions. They state that all goodness comes from one source, a message which was recieved by the Prophets. God is neither male nor female, it's only the imagination of human beings that attribute masculinity or femininity to God.

I have studied many religions and would never follow any of them. I agree that they do seem to point to the same thing, pretty much universally. Sometimes I do call it God, because it makes it easier to communicate with people who think in those terms but really I veiw it more as the Divinity of Man, and even that doesn't quite sum it up. Call it whatever you want, it changes nothing but your label.

The most glaring example of a man-made religion is atheism, it has no revelation from any god.
It simply presumes that matter is an all-powerful entity that can work the miracles of creating the universe, life, information, consciousness, intelligence and the atheist thought process itself, from an original nothingness.
Thus atheism declares 'matter' as its god, and pays due homage to matter, even preaching and evangelising this doctrine of all-powerful 'matter' through the likes of Richard Dawkins and many of the answers you see on this forum.

Religions are God sent!
Man made are the mythologies!
How come man had created something of which he had no knowledge... plenty of examples from both the Bible & Koran.
How the Universe was made,
How man was made,
How Ibles become a Satan,
What moral values should man must adhare to?
What a man should believe in!
What will become of a man once dead?
How the nature operates?
There are Angels.
There are seven heavens.

YHWH: Israel's God.
god: made up in people's mind to comfort them in times of trouble.
Allah: Impersonal god of Islam. pray 5 times daily facing Mecca, do good deeds, and kill the infidels. Hope to live in Heaven after death.
Jesus: God in the flesh (YHWH). Came to save His people from their sins. In so doing this, HIs people inherit the earth in the coming age and eternity in Heaven with God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit (the Comforter/Counselor). Jesus saves. People don't save themselves therefore no works involved in this.
Mohammed. The last prophet of Allah. Islamic prophet circa 600 A.D.
So do you want to rephrase this question because they definitely aren't the same at all.

you dont have to follow manmade religion if you dont want to. no one can make you choose whether you want to be religilous or not.
people refer to their religion as the way they were taught to.
although along the way some add their opinion and make up stories.Jesus, Allah, Mohammed are all prophets but people see them in different ways depending on what they`ve experienced, see or taught.

You are committing the "same" thing by describing
"creating forces" - you are "making god in your own
image" when you do that too - don't you realize that?
Those of us that have prayed to the Lord and the Lord
has answered know full well they are not following a
man made religion - there is a big difference.

Jesus Christ was a great messenger of God and all Muslims love him and can't hear anything against him, including the fact that he never claimed to be God, and never asked trinity to exist. He was the way to God, the same way all other prophets were showing the way to God.
The hundreds of contradictions in bible and language itself clarifies that bible that exists today has many additions/ alterations by historians etc for different reasons.
Germine 8:8
How can you say, “we are wise, for we have the law of Lord, when actually the pen of scribes has made it into a lie?"
Bible is warning us don't take every word of bible as word of God, as scribes will turn it into a lie.
Ask any Bishop how we got today's bible, and the answer would be through scribes.
Jesus said:
A) Mark 12:29:
"the Lord our God, the lord is One"
B) Metthew: 26:39:
"He went a little farther and fell on His face and prayed"
Jesus prayed to one God
C) Matthew 4:10
"You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him only you shall serve"
Trinity was invented by Paul, an evolved concept in christianity, 200 years after Jesus, and that's how confused and divided the concept that Jesus preached. Word "son" was used in bible for general human beings and other prophets also.
Look at www.todayislam.com and discover what some most intellectual priests discovered., very interesting stories, makes me cry to see why God sent us here, and what we are doing.

At least with Christianity, you seem to be missing a gigantic point: God Became a Man. "The Word Was Made Flesh And Dwelt Among Us". Jesus Christ, Second Person of the Most Holy and Blessed Trinity became man. The Incarnation.
Our religion is "made' by a very Special Man indeed.
