There I got to learn this interesting concept of Mimetic Desire

Mimetic desire is a concept introduced by the French philosopher René Girard, suggesting that human desires are not entirely individual but are influenced or "mimicked" from others. According to this theory, people often desire something not because of its inherent value but because someone else desires it, creating a cycle of imitation and competition.

For example, in social dynamics, a person might want a certain job, car, or lifestyle not because they need or truly value it, but because someone they admire or envy has it. This can lead to rivalry, as multiple individuals pursue the same object of desire, and can sometimes escalate into conflict.

So, God.

I always that believe that the concept of God was a made up thing by some group of people. I consider them one of the smartest people of the whole human kind. The impact and concept of god still exists.

There he talks about the

by inventing a higher power. A GOD. who you wont compare yourself to therefore you will not have ant Mimetic Desire against. You are creating a tool that will stop societal violence and conflicts. Religion is a tool people invented independently in many different civilizations.

The stories which we hear today, most of them focuses more on the morals than the character. People required a person with whom they can't go against or else there would be wars only. By having a one person to whom people admire, it avoids violence and bring people together same way of thinking.
