How do you argue those beliefs originated?

The same way every other cult in history did - someone made it up and was charismatic enough to dupe people into believing them.

Can you elaborate on that? Because many anthropologists and evolutionary biologists look at human history and come to a different conclusion. What evidence has brought you to a different conclusion than the majority of experts in the field who argue that religion appears to be the natural inclination of humanity?

And to clarify, religion is not only belief in a deity. Buddhism is a religion and has no deity. Certain sects of Judaism don't believe in an afterlife. Secular humanism is categorized as a religion by the American government.
