How did religious beliefs come about?

According to atheists, religion arose from people’s misunderstanding of what was happening around and uncertainty about the future. According to believers, it depends on religion in different ways. From Muslims, the prophet Muhammad received the holy Koran from the archangel Jabrail. Buddha Shakyamuni achieved enlightenment during many days of meditation under the bodhi tree. Lao Tzu, “the first of the Taoists,” wrote his book “Tao Te Ching” and gave it to a guard at the border when he left China and went to Tibet. Da Mo, the author of Zen Buddhism, taught the monks personally.
