Very good question. Guru Nanak says in Jap Bani Creator created earth to earn Dharam.
ਰਾਤੀ ਰੁਤੀ ਥਿਤੀ ਵਾਰ ॥ ਪਵਣ ਪਾਣੀ ਅਗਨੀ ਪਾਤਾਲ ॥ ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਧਰਤੀ ਥਾਪਿ ਰਖੀ ਧਰਮ ਸਾਲ ॥ AGGS 7
Rati Ruti Thiti Var || Pavan Pani Agni Patal || Tis Vich Dharati Thap Rakhi Dharam Sal ||
ਤਿਸੁ ਵਿਚਿ ਜੀਅ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਕੇ ਰੰਗ ॥ ਤਿਨ ਕੇ ਨਾਮ ਅਨੇਕ ਅਨੰਤ ॥ ਕਰਮੀ ਕਰਮੀ ਹੋਇ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ॥ ਸਚਾ ਆਪਿ ਸਚਾ ਦਰਬਾਰੁ ॥
Tis Vich Jea Jugat Ke Rang ||Tin Ke Naam Anek Anant || Karami Karami Hoe Vichar || Sacha Ap Sacha Darbar ||
ਤਿਥੈ ਸੋਹਨਿ ਪੰਚ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ਨਦਰੀ ਕਰਮਿ ਪਵੈ ਨੀਸਾਣੁ ॥ ਕਚ ਪਕਾਈ ਓਥੈ ਪਾਇ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਗਇਆ ਜਾਪੈ ਜਾਇ ॥੩੪॥
Tithai Sohan Panch Parvan ||Nadare Karam Pavai Nisan || Kach Pakae Uthai Pae ||Nanak Gaeia Japai Jae ||34||
In the realm of Dharam Khand one comes to realize that God created nights, days, weeks, seasons; air, water, fire and the nether regions. In the midst of these, God established earth as a home for Dharam. In this sanctuary, coexist uncounted and endless species of different colours, creed and habits, who have very diversified methods and principles for their survival, living styles, desires and ambitions of life. Everyone is being judged according to their actions whether they are according to the law of the cosmos (Hukam). Those whose actions are in accordance with the law of the cosmos are in a blissful state and others are always in pain and suffering.
ਆਪੇ ਤਖਤੁ ਰਚਾਇਓਨੁ ਆਕਾਸ ਪਤਾਲਾ ॥ ਹੁਕਮੇ ਧਰਤੀ ਸਾਜੀਅਨੁ ਸਚੀ ਧਰਮ ਸਾਲਾ ॥ AGGS 785
Apey Takhat Rachaeioun Akas Patala || Hukme Dharti Sajean Sachi Dharam Sala ||
God created and abide in every molecule of cosmos, sky and nether world and created earth to learn and live a life of righteousness (Dharam).
ਸਰਬ ਧਰਮ ਮਹਿ ਸ੍ਰੇਸਟ ਧਰਮੁ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਕੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਿ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਕਰਮੁ ॥ AGGS 266
Sarab Dharam Meh Sresat Dharam || Har Ko Naam Jap Niramal Karam ||
Of all religions (Dharam), the best religion (Dharam) is to maintain pure conduct according to the Virtues of the God. Because there are different religions so Guru is giving definition of Dharam in all religions including Sikhs as “Pure Conduct”, which is same in all religions.
No, God did not create religions, BUT Dharam (To live life of Truthfulness). Sikhi is a Dharam, NOT religion.
