Religion proposes the existence of things that can't be invented, like God, Heaven and Hell. Human beings can't create any of these things like we can with mathematical systems.
If the idea of them was invented and not discovered, they are bogus.

Well of course if Heaven and Hell were literally invented then they are bogus. It is the invention of Religion as a “language” that I am talking about. That really is what Religion is, a language to discuss the metaphysical. Given that man invented Religion, it is not axiomatic that God does not exist. I get the impression that others (some, most, all) feel the opposite.

It seems to me that religon and god are entirely independent of each other, so whilst I agree that religon could be invented and god exist, there is no reason to believe that religon says anything about this god.
