Religious thought does not come from the observation of natural phenomena, but from the basis of social struggle, and the fact that God is a man is one of the evidences to prove this view. It can be concluded that the "famous" figures in ancient times were the raw materials for making gods-Hercules, "labor hero" and "all-powerful family", and were eventually promoted to Mount Olympus and listed among the gods. In the concept of primitive people, God is not an abstract concept, an illusion, but a very realistic figure, holding some kind of labor tool. God is the ability of a certain craft, and he is a teacher and colleague of human beings. God is the artistic summary of the fruits of labor, and the "religious" thoughts of working people must be put in quotation marks, because this is pure artistic creation. It is realistic to idealize people's ability and feel their strong development in advance, and the creation of myth is based on it. Under every flight of ancient fantasy, we can easily see its driving force, which is always people's desire to reduce labor.
