Not everyone on this planet believes that the Christian God created everything. I'm going to use Hindusim as an example again because it's very different to Christianity. It's also very complicated because Hindusim isn't just one set of beliefs - Hindu Creationism
Quote:According to Hindu creationism all species on earth including humans have "devolved" or come down from a high state of pure consciousness. Hindu creationists claim that species of plants and animals are material forms adopted by pure consciousness which live an endless cycle of births and rebirths.[13] Ronald Numbers says that: "Hindu Creationists have insisted on the antiquity of humans, who they believe appeared fully formed as long, perhaps, as trillions of years ago."[14] Hindu creationism is a form of old earth creationism. According to Hindu creationists the universe may even be older than billions of years. These views are based on the Vedas which depict an extreme antiquity of the universe and history of the earth.[15][16]
Creation myths
Hinduism is a conglomeration of distinct intellectual or philosophical points of view, rather than a rigid common set of beliefs.[17] As a result, the Hindu texts do not provide a single canonical account of the creation; they mention a range of theories of the creation of the world, some of which are contradictory.[18] Many Hindus regard these scriptural legends as allegories or metaphors rather than literal truth.

Which God should I believe in? Which system of being culpable for my actions should I believe in? What about karma where I'll reap the fruits of bad actions in this life or when I'm reincarnated?
