Foundation of every religion is on 'after life' or 'after death'. Either no one knows what happens once the body stops functioning or no one wants to believe that this is ‘The End’ of the subject human in all of its entirety.
Knowing this impossibility, some influencers, availing the opportunity handy from this unknowable, decided to create myths using their wizardry of storytelling laced with gifted eloquence, thus making public easily reposing faith in those hyperboles. The influencers became closely related to that god thus earning residual collateral respects. God or gods too became characters of new geographic specific historical myths and religions got born. New influencers continued to this day.
Rest all, associated moral stories, tales of one supreme god or variety of gods, angels, gods’ or god’s representatives, spirits and higher souls, knowing of future or tricks of modulating future, realisation of wishes, burden of sins or rewards of good deeds ie everything what makes up a religion; are hyperbolical fabled legends. These are either part of deliberately cooked up fictions or honestly created literary masterworks by some genius which the influencers of the later ages made into mythical propaganda for promoting their version of some belief about death and after life and to command how one should conduct day to day life based on those assumptions with fear of unknown God or Gods and death and after death.
Every religion could fundamentally be simply deep rooted largely trusted gossip only.
This is not statement about existence of God or Gods but only a comment on religions as we encounter.
