You need to add local goddesses to that as well. Pele. You seem to be saying that religion is something that has been constructed by human beings. I agree with that. But then you go on to say that god is a term, constructed by humans, I believe, that represents a unifying force. Well, that unifying force isn't doing much unifying, is it? In the meantime, Pele is being an asshole and destroying people's property and lives. Is Pele a rogue unifying force? Or are there others? Many cultures have believed in several gods, obviously all constructs, and perhaps unifying forces if you look at it in some strange way, but then, who should we believe? And why believe in any when there's no evidence that shows a god or gods exist?
You've answered your own question. It's something humans have made up; it's a construct.
