why did man create God?

Someone asked me earlier that why did man create God. If God created the universe, man didn't create God. Your question presumes that your belief is the absolute truth. I'm not saying anyone else has the absolute truth, but the question could of been written more accurately, perhaps
Why did man create religion?
Would be better. We can prove man made religion. But no one can prove or disprove the actual notion of God, so to presume that man created him means that you don't really want a 'correct' answer, you just want the opinion of other atheists who agree with you. Fine I suppose, but why not just join a group of atheist in discussion?
Lastly, if you actually research the creation of religion it had nothing to do with fear. Fear was cause by the religions sieving power and indoctrination everyone they could.  Region and multiple God theories were created to explain the stars and other unexplainable physics at the time. If you have a large problem it's easy to anthropomorphism to view the problems in a workable manner. You can imagine you self as another person, so you can imagine yourself doing 'that' God's job, and start to appreciate the complexity of the world. In a time when people had so much technological advancement and civilized societies (more then most of today's countries at least.) 
This doesn't show a people afraid, this shows people spurring innovation and thought.
