When you're done with that, try god is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens. It's a little more of a polemic, but Hitch was freaking amazing.
Thanks for the suggestion, i'll be sure to look into it.

1) Profound wisdom

As I said, every reply is like a gate to relief. It seems exactly as I suspect, with primitive man not having access to the wealth of knowledge today, they would've most likely said there is a creator that made anything. That doesn't explain to me why they would create concepts of satan and sin though. Yea restricting murder, but why would they restrict things pleasurable like sex and sloth? I don't see why they would restrict things that they liked.
