“Let’s face it, mankind has invented religions throughout the ages, to cynically use the concept of God to advance their own personal ambitions.”
__________________________________________

Man has invented religions because he is aware of his spiritual need, but is too proud and stubborn to humble himself before his true Creator, so he manufactures rituals and worships demons instead - or tries to be ‘good’ according to his own definition. These religions are the ABC Religions - Anything But Christ.

‘If Satan took over Philadelphia, all of the bars would be closed, pornography banished, and pristine streets would be filled with tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The children would say, “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am,” and the churches would be full every Sunday . . . where Christ is not preached.’

-Donald Grey Barnhouse

How about those religions older than Christianity? Are they merely ABC, as you so say. In fact, there are a number of parallels between Vishnu and the Christian god Jesus that some consider are so strong that Christianity is merely an extension or replication of Hinduism.

All religions are “manufactured” and are just humans trying to make sense of life. No way to know which is right or which is wrong.
