Religion is Man's Idea, not God's
God's thoughts are different from ours.
Isaiah 55:8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways, says the Lord.
Please note: His plan was to populate this outpost with His own children; human beings created in His own image; who would live by and operate His heavenly Kingdom government in the earthly realm.
Genesis 1:28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it, have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
We have misunderstood God's original intent, we have misunderstood not only ourselves, but also God's purpose for us on earth.
If intent is unknown, misunderstanding is inevitable. Misunderstanding intent guarantees a waste of time, talent, energy, gifts and resources.
That is the problem with religion. Most religions focus on trying to get God's attention, which is the wrong approach. We already have God's attention. The key to life and purpose, is to get God's attention.
He has revealed Himself and His intent through His creation as well as through His Word.
Constitution Scripture: Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.
The Constitution is full of such statements of God's self-revelation.
Genesis 1:26-28 Then God said, "Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27) So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28) Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
Please note: In order for the Lord to facilitate this, He prepared a special habitat for His human representatives.
Genesis 2:8,15 The Lord God planted a garden eastward of Eden, and He put the man whom He had formed. 15) The Lord God took man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
Remember: God's original intent was to populate the Earth with humankind, who then would rule and dominate the planet for Him and in His name.
