Religion is a set of beliefs orchestrated by a higher social class that aims at controlling its society as means to gain power, reduce opposition and revolution and to gain monetary benefits. the aim of religion is not to help an individual but to manipulate them.
God on the other hand is a force/being etc that is unknown. In fact God could refer to the things in life that are unexplained, spiritual fulfillment, a concept that we have generated for we simply cannot comprehend a world with an end, a world lacking any form of mysteriousness- or a world without 'guidance'. Instead we need such a concept for self re-assurance. But then again this form of 'God' could exist- a fact that we will never know until death.
point being that religion has got nothing to do with 'God' because what religions teach do not consist of reaching spiritual fulfillment, finding a purpose in life, or even reaching the answer about God, but instead consist of conformity and manipulation that focus on commands such as 'what is right' and 'what should be done' rather than a 'how' or 'is'.
religions relish on acceptance and revolt against questionings- factors that are most important in finding our own enlightment.
that is why those two factors have got nothing to do with each other.
