If you don't know if there is a God, then you don't know if religion was a construct of man.

Right because god constructed a religion for Egyptians that had them
worshipping mythical figures, as did the Greeks and Romans and Celts and
many others, including the Christians.

No, the Omnipotent Creator made man, and man made other gods to do their will. Not His. But you probably can't, or at least won't understand that.
