    About this ebook

    Are you worshiping the proper God? Has your God been canceled? How did you choose your religion—and do you really need one? If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, now you can take a journey to explore their answers.

    The Creation of Gods and Religions offers a brief and comprehensive narrative of the development of religions and the concept of God so that you can better analyze your beliefs. Religious practices and the concept of God have changed over time. The history of those changes is not often a topic of discussion at places of worship, but it is fundamental knowledge that can help you make a reasonable decision about what to believe. In his own search to find answers, author Miguel Rosado realized that the information available was aimed at higher-level readers and could at times be deceiving. Now he seeks to assist others in navigating the sea of religions.

    Straightforward and concise, this short guide examines how the concept of God and religions developed, how it has changed over time, and the impact it had on society.
