If a religion is from God, there should never cease to be a link between God and humans in a form of a leader appointed by him. That leader would be chosen by God, not by the people, and would be able to do miracles.Doesn't follow. Why do you think that any of this should be true, if a religion is from a god?
It's not conclusive, but given the function the leader would do (be a guide, be a proof, a way to know the religion is correct, etc), I think it's fair to say this would be the most likely scenario if God wanted us to follow holy men. He would not cease the proof his revelations, his revelations would not stop, and there would be a guide in each age. Why would God communicate to one generation and then stop for the rest?

I do and I believe it's part of my mental illness (obsession with religion is a symptom in particular with me).
I don't know how to deal with it.
