yea, back in the day, cave man woke up & realised ball in sky must be a "god" of some sort, coming & going every 12hrs.
a "god" because he could not explain it.
So he prayed to it & the moon & everything else he didn't understand.
All religion is "man made"
As for the mob that wandered the deserts for 100's years (couldn't find way out?) telling oral stories…
aka bunch of goat humping camel jockies, sitting around smoking ganga telling campfire stories.
They even convinced themselves they were the "chosen ones" haha
