I think that humans created religion to help them cope with difficult situations in life. Religion gives people hope and a sense of security and gives meaning to their lives. If you take these away from people, many of them will kill themselves. That's why even completely neutral people and scientists know that religion is not based on truth. But they are still very rigidly attached to it.

We also need to deal with the (still) invisible world. The scope of what we see and perceive is very little compared to everything that is happening in the universe.

I agree. We may have a creator, but that creator is not the God of religions because the God of religions is not compatible with scientific facts.

Yes litterally speaking, but I would rather say the "Gods" of religions, representing each multiple facets of God. Besides, those facets can illustrate God in different levels of abstraction. Except if you are in a religious movement that takes scriptures litteraly, you never know if the story there is trying to depict a "real" event or is a parable trying to explain some cosmic or psychological event in accessible words. Changing plan/perspective sometimes help realize that some facets are really close to scientific hypothesis (rather than facts). I am especially amazed by how quantum physics are starting to describe things that were already described in very ancient hindu texts for instance.
