Religion makes me ashamed of my fellow humans.

God wonders where his surroundings came from.
God wonders how he got to his surroundings.
God wonders if there is a God, a creator of his world.

They originated in roughly the same area, and are also very similar.
Roughly in the same area, yes. Maybe that's because this area on earth is the 'decided' land of divine revelation. What's so similiar with each religion? God - Love - Heaven - Repentence, seems to be the general trait of each Abrahamic religion. Other than that, each religion has its semantics of worship; as Christians worship Christ, Muslims worship Allah, et cet era. Neither faiths seem to really get along with eachother. But all of them can fall into a trance of dhikr, which to me says something.
Or because they're afraid of eternal damnation. Religion is cultural, and when it's popular, it's pop culture. To make someone believe something, you just need to sell it to them properly, it doesn't really matter whether it's a doctrine of love or of hate, you can still make tons of people believe it. Cults suceed all the time. Bizarre "alternative medicine" constantly does really well despite the fact it doesn't work at all. These smaller faiths generally fizzle out, but if they catch the public's attention the right way at the right time, they can explode, and that's all that happened with Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Buddhism and Hinduism did quite well also. Why didn't you mention them?
Again, with the Pop culture Phluck. How can you generalize that people believe because of the "threat of eternal damnation" when you know very well that not every believer believes in eternal damnation? You talk like religion is some kind of carny stand that tries to sucker all the stupid saps into believing they can get something with little exertion. What's the deal with that?

wait now were you talking to God, or were you just talking and happened to use the word "god" as an extension of emphasis?
Edit (addition): And Zahid,
"Don't think too highly of yourself."
That's my whole point, dude. I openly admit that mankind has no clue about anything, but YOU claim to have it all figured out.

so if i believe nothing and i live my life by the pure will of chaos, to do whatever i want however i want to learn as much as i can and experience as much i can experience, be it through all the good and the BAD THINGS I MUST DO so i can fufill my life to the fullest i can
and i fail the test
because i would kill, i would lie and i would do anything to really live life the way i believe it should be lived, and that is for experience
does that mean god (the one i dont belive in) will banish me from his kingdom of eternal paradise?
because i have given no rational to why life is the way it is but rather decided to live it as it is here and i am present?
if this is so and i dont mean to start fighting words but i speak from what i really feel, if this is true then i hate god and i reject his kingdom, because if god loved me, he would understand my "lust" for life.
to many if's...
my point:
you have given no proof, you only speak, and words prove nothing, they only share your opinions
the only proof i might be able to call real proof, is if one only accepted life from the empty bucket of questions it presents and search for solid facts being the only way to form concepts about the world.
just as you see athiests like myself as sad individuals who resist changing their state of mind, let it be known, that we all think the same way of those who belive in magic and god unconditionally

Speaking of areas the Abrahamic religions have in common, and it is their real weakness, a overly fond love, the kind of love you reserve for God, of real estate. The Jews have the promised land. The Christians have the Holy land. And last but certainly not least the Muslims have the hadj. It may be that God thinks that real estate is that important too. It may be that he doesn't give a shit what we think or what we do.
