I can't speak for other religions, but as far as Christianity goes, we believe He created us out of love. Because He is love, by His very nature. It wasn't out of loneliness or boredom. It was out of a desire (a desire stemmed from love) to have others to share His great love and joy with.
He created us with free will. Ultimately, we choose whether we want to accept and be part of His love or not.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
