Humans make up all god claims, they always have. Claims of gods are merely placebos, place cards that project their own narcissism and insecurities in an attempt to justify a fictional utopia and a "forever" that does not exist. It is not a "gene" as some would call it, it is a flaw in our species evolution born out of ignorance.
Jews and Muslims and Hindus and Buddhists and Christians, and Shintos and every club now, and every dead religion in the past, are really nothing more than the artificial excuses humans create to set up social pecking orders. No, it isn't that you can force any religion out of existence. But our species understanding has progressed and given us much better tools to understand reality without myth making and the idea of the super natural keeps getting killed when challenged to a lab.
