Is God an Invention of Thought?

"What is religion? Man has sought something that is not of this world. From the most ancient of people till now man has sought something that time, thought, has nothing to do with that. He has sought it. And in his search, he has been trapped by the priests. Priests of the world who become the interpreters of that – we know, you don’t, we will tell you all about it. And the established religions are just nonsense–please don’t accept this. For the speaker, they are just entertainment, excitement, the thing to do for a while. If you are young you avoid all that nonsense. As you grow older you get frightened, you become this or that. And all the things that are in the churches, temples, and mosques are put together by thought."

J. Krishnamurti

Humanity is split into different religions and beliefs—each with their own authority to follow, their own methods, systems, and rules. It makes one wonder... what is religion and who is God? 

The human brain has brought about extraordinary achievements in technology, yet we still face the same problems millennia after millennia; thought continues to create a series of escapes that ultimately maintain conflict and division. 

Why is there so much division, and does it have anything to do with the mind? 

One can see how this division is enforced in religions and organizations in which there are those "who know" and those "who don't know," always requiring authority or interpreters in order to gain so-called salvation or liberation. 

What would it mean to inquire about all of this? Is it possible to inquire without authority, fear, or pleasure?
