Religion is all about power, not belief.
All religions have been invented, since the dawn of time, and religion is primarily designed to give a small minority power and influence over the majority. In the Middle Ages it was the monks that could read and write, which gave then an enormous advantage over everybody else.
Religions are still being invented....look at Scientology ! Plainly a lot of ludicrous drivel but people are still being taken in.
I despair !

Religions were not invented to give people faith...they were invented to give people power and influence. Power came first and faith followed behind.
Scientology is primarily about the accumulation of vast wealth, for the few at the top....it is, in effect, a giant pyramid scheme. If people choose to believe in this drivel, that's up to them, but they shouldn't hide their gullibility and credulity behind "faith"

Religion was never 'invented'. It evolved as an explanation of natural phenomena by ancient humans ( Thunder,Lightening, etc). Soon it was worked out by a very few that if they pretended to be able to communicate or even control these 'Gods' these individuals could command great power over others and basically , with a few more fairy stories, it has not changed much since neanderthal times .Humans have a default to try and explain their own lives and 'why' we are here. Mainstream religion has been borne out of the want of certain Individuals to gain power by preying on the concerns about what happens when we die and the concept of Heaven and Hell is man made. To answer your question: If Religion had not got into the hands of the wrong people we would probably all be peaceful individual Pagans,but Humans are both Territorial and Tribal so maybe we would be having 'silicon' wars between AT&T and Apple to see who could create the first virtual 'Heaven'.
