NOW THAT IS A GOOD DEBATE XD and i must agree with you "religion is the opium of people" throughout cultures and history religion and god as has had different roles too keep, a civilization under control, to explain the meaning of things. but who really created god? was it the fact that in ancient times people needed something to explain the creation of things in a sense that it would soothe their eternal questioning and reasoning about the coming of things? really god was created by men and transformed by men, not only that but the institutions that praise to be the voice of god (meaning any religion tbh) are the ones that manipulate society into believing what in all honestly what mostly is a load of BS, god in any religion in any meaning u want it is another tool of men, such as political power, or the power of fear. religion states its dogma's in the beliefs of ancient times. and not only condemns the breaking of this dogma' and rules but punishes them, dont get me wrong i dont believe relgion or god it helps millions of people to find soemthign to believe in and helps them to achieve a piece of mind but for me god and religion should be studied as to what they are social phenomenon and a philosphical branch
