Clearing this up, I won't either, just trying to explain it as a possibility that can't be ruled out completely and is worthy for brainstorming.There's a distinctly less ridiculous subject for brainstorming described below.

I don't really see it as a wise move to be certain in these kind of topics and don't recommend it.
It is interesting though that religion was necessary for us. Why not just learn as all other animals do by just believing ad learning from empirical facts? Why wasn't it like that?
You don't see it as wise to state, with certainty, that the stories in magic book represent human desires and etiological devices? You do, however, see it as wise to pile more garbage on the heap..hilariously insisting that religion was necessary while asking why we don't learn the way that we do?
Personally, and since we're talking about things we think might be wise.....I think it would be wise to explore why you wished there was a soul forge, and why this particular fantasy appeals to you over other bits of fiction. Not with us, I don't think you'd be capable of doing anything even close to that with us, here.
You see, every bit of culture is worth wondering about, there is a lot to find out about human nature. Right now, when we are getting closer to perhaps developing an AI, this idea that if we can make consciousness then someone could've also made us seems inevitable. when thinking about it of course we must try to analyse what info we might have from the creators and think of it from that point of view.
But really, religion is not easy to explain when it seems more rational for simply evolved consciousness to try to explain something from out of the blue belief rather than evidence, as I said, like animals do.
