Getting the right religion and right god is a crap shoot within itself. The problem with religions is that they are bi-products of predecessors. Every religion that exists today has cannibalized some other religion, that's how religions work. Group A takes what they like from group B and makes their own group C. Christianity and Islam adopted a lot of their fables and figures from existing religions to make the conversion process easier. Most of these earlier forms were transitional so converting the locals was just as efficient as eradicating them, not to say that religious purging didn't happen, because it certainly did.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
