The individual delusion came first, then it got marketed for political power. The religions that are popular today, worldwide, are a result of successful marketing, not because a real god exists.
So if the "individual" came before the organized, therefore religion didn't create God but an individual did and thus you have shown your own claim to be bullshit. That takes care of that.
Next, your claim that it is a delusion. Can you prove it?
The individual got their ideas from those prior, just like Coke And Pepsi were not the first beverage, and other drinks existed before, but individuals had to look at those around them for ideas to market their new brand.
Yes religion is a delusion and crap, just like soda.
