Let me attempt to intrigue you by this very child-ish thought: Can you fathom the limit of the universe? I mean, can you think of how the end of the universe will look like? Will it be a wall? If then, shouldn't something lie beyond it, be it even more wall? Isn't the very idea of an infinite universe unimanginable by the human mind? I mean, how do you have a volume without a limit? How does t universe stretch forever? What lies at the end of forever? Perhaps more 'forever'?

In other words, I don't know, and no one can really satisfy this question of yours. So to prevent himself from going crazy, man planted the idea of religion.

We don't know for sure that the universe is expanding forever. It could be that whatever forces or actions were present at the beginning of the universe are still present today and matter and energy are continuously being created. Remember that we can't see what most of the universe is composed of: scientists call the unknown forms of matter and energy: dark matter and dark energy. So, perhaps it is not expansion that we should be talking about but growth from the new matter and energy..

Perhaps it is another form of energy that makes us believe in a God. The God particle or energy may have been planted in all of us and it comes naturally.
