May be religion was "created" to rule out certain guidelines that any decent citizen could follow and bring law and order to the society. As time went by, maybe those guidelines became more rigid, and organised religion, as we see today, took its place, which ultimately gave rise to fanaticism. May be God was projected as a "positive boogeyman" to create a scare in people, so that they would follow the rules, out of fear of hell or punishment. Or in case of pagan religion, the forces of nature that acted in a mysterious way (wind/fire/water/electricity) gave rise to the concept of God
