It could be explained that way. Many religions seem to be formed out of the desire in a human heart (across every single culture in existence) for something beyond the physical and tangible. A deep sense that this is not all there is.

Some religions claim to be much more than that - the result of a manifestation of a higher power or intelligence, corporeal or intangible - speaking to one or more individuals. That means that we have a few choices for those religions:

1) the founder is lying

2) the founder is insane and/or hallucinating

3) the message of the founder has been distorted or embellished after the fact by followers or adherents

4) the founder was deceived

5) the founder really experienced something extraordinary and spoke with a deity or their representative

Different religions may fall into different categories.

You decide.
