If god came first and revealled himself to man there would be a somon theme linking all belief systems. There are, we see, a multiplicity of belief systems. Admittedly there are comon themes between islam christiantity and judaism, but the rest are a dispaerate bunch with no linking theme.
Therefore god is a human construct
the creature or the creator they link upon.

shared the same history it simply got passed down from generation
to generation, with some small changes over time in the telling.
Writing down our stories has kept many things truer to the actual
events, and with scripture depending on how diligent the scribes
were in getting it all down correctly the stories should remain
truer. Having several flood stories across the world should cause
a little wonder if an event like that didn’t actually occur and that
we are simply hearing the echoes of an event that did in human
history that has since passed into mythology.
