The Mesopotamians were the first civilization, so therefore, they "came up" with the first religion. The Mesopotamians were polytheistic, which means they worshipped many gods. The gods the Mesopotamians worshipped were based on the natural happenings, their harvest's, hurricanes, and they loved (especially) one god that they claimed "made" the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flood in the summertime every year, so the crops were extra rich from the silt in the water, which came from the mountains.

Ancient Mesopotamians did not have a term for what we would call "polytheism" since everyone was polytheist at that time. The Mesopotamians had no concept of monotheism, atheism, or henotheism with which to contrast their belief. They could recognize that some people prayed to foreign gods, but did not consider those beliefs to be a unique religion.
