The question was asked can religion be explained without God!

The answer is emphatically NO!

Siebra Muhammad writes "can religion be explained without God? Of course!"
Siebra is absolutely wrong. Religion and God go hand in hand. Apparently, Siebra do not know what religion is and the purpose of religion.

Religion is a ceremonial practice or ritual of how a particular people give reverence to a deity.
For instance, the Arabians practice of ceremonial prayer is to prostrate themselves on the ground while the Christians pray on their knees with their hands claps together at their heart.

Siebra goes on believing that she is adding logic to justify that religion can be explained without God when she said this, "God existed way before there was any religion on earth. This is an answer as to which came first God or religion. But the question was can religion be explained without God, and the answer is emphatically NO!

Word Origin & History

[Old English god; related to Old Norse goth, Old High German got, Old Irish guth voice]

O.E. god "supreme being, deity," from P.Gmc. *guthan (cf. Du. god, Ger. Gott, O.N. guð, Goth. guþ), from PIE *ghut- "that which is invoked" (cf. Skt. huta- "invoked," an epithet of Indra), from root *gheu(e)- "to call, invoke." But some trace it to PIE *ghu-to- "poured," from root *gheu- "to
pour, pour a libation" (source of Gk. khein "to pour," khoane "funnel" and khymos "juice;" also in the phrase khute gaia "poured earth," referring to a burial mound). "Given the Greek facts, the Germanic form may have referred in the first instance to the spirit immanent in a burial mound" [Watkins]. Cf. also Zeus. Not related to good. Originally neut. in Gmc., the gender shifted to masc. after the coming of Christianity. O.E. god was probably closer in sense to L. numen. A better word to translate deus might have been P.Gmc. *ansuz, but this was only used of the highest deities in the Gmc. religion, and not of foreign gods, and it was never used of the Christian God. It survives in Eng. mainly in the personal names beginning in Os-.
