Did humans invent God to give their lives meaning, and to surround themselves with comforting fairy tales to hold back the cold, terrifying, incoming input from that remote, meaningless, silent, even hostile universe out there?
God was always existed, and has not been invented by humans. The cultural, linguistic and historical settings, for each nation in each generation, may well favor the invention of a particular version of God. That too some degree is a local invention, and to some degree the deity contacted, dreamed up and worshiped is likely a cousin or child of God, that give the local people someone to worship and look up to.
