The wellsprings of Religion / God are pretty basic:

Good = life, light, warmth, sex, food, day, summer, sun etc.

Bad = death, dark, cold, no sex, no food, night, winter, no sun etc.

This is 50,000* years ago; humanity emerges from Nature and looks upon Nature as other. So what does we do? We give things names & personify them accordingly, then we begin to tell stories that will become myths & religions. I might say: Myth = Good / Religion = Bad. Myth was just storytelling, but religion got hung up on truth and putting people to the sword & enslaving them accordingly.

No Religion = Good. We just see the sunrise over the hill and are glad enough of that, like the birds and bonobos, none of whom ever bother going to church.
