Hello, you want to know how religion originated. Religion is written within the genetic makeup of certain people, the women having the dominate gene. The Bible story of the rebellion of a first couple resulted in their eviction from the Garden of Eden in which they are alienated from God until their death, Genesis Chapter 3. The request for salvation using religion is born as the Bible continues the history of mankind by allowing the children of the first couple to render service to God and also providing gifts as sacrifices as a request for peace. This Bible story is today a foundation of religious values since the beginning, Genesis Chapter 4.
Genesis 4:3-5
Easy-to-Read Version
The First Murder
3-4 At harvest time, Cain brought a gift to the Lord. He brought some of the food that he grew from the ground, but Abel brought some animals from his flock. He chose some of his best sheep and brought the best parts from them.
The Lord accepted Abel and his gift. 5 But he did not accept Cain and his offering. Cain was sad because of this, and he became very angry.
