religion is the foundation of civilisation
civilisations existed before "god"
farming and trade is the backbone/foundation of civilisations.
which is based on greed and gluttony
way way before egyptian pharaohs (men pretending to be gods by wearing animal masks)
many tribes around the world would imagine their kings/clan leaders by an animal. whereby it would describe the features/personality of their clan leader. EG strong as a bear. cunning as a wolf, as swift as an eagle
this evolved into fangirlism of certain leaders
then they found that these leaders get hate from those that dont fangirl and many leaders got slaughtered if their rules/orders were bad.
this evolved into leaders saying they hear messages from animal entities that give them their strength/will/orders... thus avoid being the rule maker and just being the rule messenger.
this involved to them being 'beings'/entities each with its own personality.. and evolved into more humanised beings/entities
even 'god' is deemed as 2 personalities.. the entity of forgiveness and love.. the entity of smite and fear
this then let them make the rules without getting the repercussions of the rules. because they are just messengers
its like senators that make the rules pretend they didnt make the rules due to it being "a senate" decision. where by "the senate" is to blame not the senators individually.. even though all the senate is. is a room of senators
once you get pased the fangirlism of stories wrote before you were born you start to see that modern man created the rules and just shifting the blame
the dollar was created by colonians that came to north america.
it was not made by god
