That's not a sophisticated answer. It's like a shortcut to thinking.
Let's make this a debate. Shall we get started?
Let's be speculative as well as using historical evidence. The question isn't asking merely who wrote religions and what their political motives were. The question is multilayered: have they made differences in human history? Without religions, how would the world today be? What impacts, whether positive, negative or both, did they have upon today's world and the future ? So on.
This is either about the existence of a god or about the motivation for religion. Pick one or the other.

Do you think that lack of belief in God can be without consequence? Think about what it would mean to lack belief in the Principle of Non-Contradiction or the Law of Identity.
That is one big stinking non sequitur.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
