From what I can tell, the majority of the world's religions are based on two things: promoting people to do good things and unexplained supernatural phenomena. Religions based on these two things dates back to pre-history (The invention of writing).
From the God Zeus to more modern time accepted Gods of Christian faiths, they both seem encourage or enforce doing good things. Another reason gods existed was to explain natural phenomena such as earth quakes and floods.
Unfortunately, there have also been some versions of God that encourage violence and non-tolerance. Two examples would be the Extremist- Muslim group that believe that they are pleasing Allah by murdering infidels and another would be small groups of extreme-catholic religions that persecute homosexuals and people that do not conform to a modern and heterosexual society.
God or Gods will always continue to change in the eyes of people as time goes along, but one thing will always remain constant; people need something to believe in in order to give them reason to do in good conscience and have something to explain why things happen.
