I'm thinking there has to be flaws to my logic. If you can find them please point them out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that all the religions say that only their religion is right and everyone else's is wrong. If so this can only mean that there are definitely people who have created religious beliefs, whether god exists or not.

If the gods that we speak of do not exist then you would have to agree that the mind created god. If it is possible that the mind could create god then I think it's too risky to choose one of the religions and spend your whole life worshipping that god when you could find out that the chosen god is the wrong one or there might not even be a god.
Is it possible for the mind to create a true god? I don't know.

But most religions believe not only that they have the true religion, but that their religion shines out from amongst the rest.
In the digital age you'd think people would know better. The internet is the perfect breeding ground for clones, and nothing shines out, especially if it doesn't appear in the first page of google results.

In any case your argument is far from complete, and I will put forward an alternative using a Discworld quote.

This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian philosopher Ventre, who said, "Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they do not. So why not believe in them in any case? If it's all true you'll go to a lovely place when you die, and if it isn't then you've lost nothing, right?" When he died he woke up in a circle of gods holding nasty-looking sticks and one of them said, "We're going to show you what we think of Mr Clever Dick in these parts..."

By your logic, there are multiple conclusions:

Man's mind created God.

or

Man's mind perceives God.

or

Man's Mind cannot accept nothingness, and so God is just an expression of the unknown.


Therefore,

God is real in the mind,
God is real, and we sense it,

or God is real in the same way that the mathematical term infinity is real, it is used only to make sense of what we cannot empirically express.
I liked this post for that you get a HI5! my good sir
