Religion, in general, says SO MUCH MORE about Man than it does about God. That, in and of itself, is a wonderful thing. In fact, by recognizing that fact it is probable that "God" emerges. But when you don't recognize that fact, all you have is blindness and idolatry.What a great insight. All of the work, energy, aspiration, creativity, and longing that produce what we call "religion" ultimately tell us more about us humans than about God. After thousands of years of religion, we're left with countless conceptions of God, the divine, an afterlife, the meaning of life, and all the other big questions. But it's still worth the effort, and our continued effort says something about us.
Failure to recognize the diversity of religious expression and the fact that religions are products of social collaboration rooted in particular historical and cultural conditions results in "blindness and idolatry" as my friend pointed out.

Men and Women created Religion. That's why we can judge that diversity of religious expression for sometimes men and women have created some nasty religions.
