Where did religions come from?

After the magic god fairy was invented then any nonsense became possible. People started pretending what this god fairy looked like and what it liked and disliked and after several centuries of pretending we now have lots of religions and each religion has lots of branches.

Of course it's all bullshit. The world does not need bulllshit. We also don't need all the violence and stupidity that religion makes possible.
