Do religions represent God?

[FatAndFaithless]

Okay, cool.

Now if you wrote those principles down in a book, and then tried to show other people how this book could improve your life, thanks to these principles and rituals from a mysterious, supernatural 'force'..... then you'd have a religion. 

And this religion would represent your god.

Wrong.

Shiva, Krishna, Jesus and Buddha never intended to start any religion and yet they gave principles to follow.
These people teach spirituality not religions but I guess you wouldn't know the difference.  

...a system of beliefs and values stemming from a supernatural power is a religion, Rik.
