I would think that maybe some higher life form may have helped us, even relocated us here.
My current thinking is that religion was created by man to help control the growing populous .
teach us how to be civilized
or maybe the opposite, they pit us against each other for their amusement

Look up a TV show Stargate SG1. One of the underlying plots was always aliens pretending to be the ancient gods.

Create the world's spiritual teachings? Yes. Create religions? No. Religion is a human distortion, primarily to exert control over other humans. Subverting free will through fear of punishment or having basic needs withheld, etc., by some unseen deity. In any other context that would be called "duress".
