The Egyptians definitely didn't invent religion, it was all around the world, in different forms everywhere. This is because religion is just a way to explain life, and things that we don't understand. If there is a "truth" it would be evident in every culture, truth can't be different in different places. now, we have science, and can except, "theres a reason, but we don't know it yet" as a valid explanation for why things happen, and right now, we're pretty damn close to having an explanation for almost everything... but lets back off the science for now. People believe the bible is the word of god. Maybe it used to be, but there have been around 2000 years for people to change around little things. I mean, anyone who leaned about the middle ages in school must see how corrupt the church was. People were illiterate, and just did what the priests told them. It would have been quite easy for someone to throw in, "he who lies with another man shall be stoned to death".

If you believe in god or gods or any sort of religion and are happy with your beliefs, then thats great, life is here to enjoy, and no one should tell you how to do that.
