Yes i agree. We believe what suits us and there are many beliefs to choose from. The most prevalent fear is the fear of death, the fear of the unknown. Man invented God in order to cope with his fears. It's a coping mechanism.

All religion is nothing more than an attempt to control a population by enforcing 'laws' that come from a higher authority that is beyond challenge. It is used as an extremely powerful tool to keep people 'in line'. It is particularly useful in circumstances where the population are under duress, be it poverty, starvation, tyranny or whatever, because then the powers that rule will assure you that you must accept your lot, lead a good life, don't rock the boat and cause any trouble, and you will be rewarded in the next life.
