Very astute observations. 


My guess is that back in much more primitive times before any understanding of basic science as the different tribes of the world looked to obtain control and power various ideas developed. Religion acted as uniting factor with a distinct set of rules. And let's face it there is no higher trump card to be able to use against your enemies than to be able to say... God is on our side. 


The problem is that all people did not agree and several different views developed. Then the battle for "who's real... who's the best" began and it's been going on ever since. 


It's sad in a way. If everyone had not added all the man made trappings of religion people could have probably always believed in a God that started everything in motion and that was it. 


Instead we've had wars and killing in the name of religion ever since and that still continues to this day.
