Why did humans invent gods|cult|the God|occult|religion[s]?

they didn;t only those who invented idol gods did so against the instruction of YHVH, THE HOLY AND DIVINE SPIRIT THAT ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE.

As a simple way to explain the things they could not yet comprehend, such as why the sun rises and sets.
The more we elarn about reality, the less religious superstition we invent.

We invented them because it's the way our minds work. We can't stop religious-type behaviour from happening without stopping a lot of other things which we need to survive.

God wrote His plan in the stars and Cain knew the plan, but Cain did not understand the plan. When he was kicked out of Eden, he taught what he knew of God's plan without understanding. Cain lived a long time and influenced many people.

"Sargon The Magnificent" is an interesting read on the subject of Cain's teachings http://s-studies.0catch.com/DocRob/sargon/sargon001.htm

The fact that God wrote His plan in the stars and many people tried to teach what they interpreted His plan to be, instead of letting Him lead and fulfill His plan through Jesus Christ, (John 3:14-21 KJV, 2 Peter 3:9 KJV), is also brought out in Genesis 11:4 KJV.

From The Companion Bible King James Version - side column notes 4. "may reach". No Ellipsis here. Hebrew "and its top with the heavens", i.e. with the Zodiac depicted on it, as in ancient temples of Denderah and Esneh in Egypt.

Atheists say it's because their ancestors were completely insane. So insane that they couldn't have even built pyramids, let alone wipe their own bottoms.... I say it's because it is human nature to delve into the deeper secrets of existence.
