it's us who made the religion to glorify God, I think it's one purpose is to have a unification....
From an anthropological perspective religion is the personification of natural forces in order to allow a means of understanding and making sense of them. These personified forces, known as mythologies or "Gods", take an interest in "human" affairs. It has historically been extremely important in allowing socieites to deal with uncertainty, creating meaning for death, suffering, etc., and has helped to create communities.
Hi guys.
it wasn't God who made religions. in fact, He'd be too ashamed to have one. given what religions have stupidly done according to His supposed name and glory.

That's valid for people who are terrified by the harsh reality that their existence will someday end. But surely only folks who are loser in life would love the idea that there is an end to their sorry existence and its illogical for people who get along with life just fine not get uncomfortable with that ultimate end...
Perhaps it could be that this concept of God is created not by man himself but by the very nature that what made man what he is- a rational being. Maybe that's what nature requires for a sentient being to exists otherwise why does our brain mechanics hardwired to 'think' a god concept?
It seems that nature provides us a way to keep us sane (and be successful as a specie) in dealing with reality in exchange for being aware of it...otherwise we will not be here talking about this.
What I'm saying is that primitive people did not simply create God to ease their anxious minds about death; it's already there...but they do defer in their concepts and its called religions.
