No, because the term hoax implies intended deception. It isn't as if every religious person out there is trying to screw everyone over. Most of them are genuinely trying to help people.

It's still not a hoax, no matter how many horrible things religious people do. They wouldn't do it if they didn't believe in it.

Yes, it was a hoax because people intended to deceive others. Here is the definition of hoax since you apparently aren't familiar with it.

So is "God", it made people change their lives, it's fake.
If there was a "God", which I am sure there is non, why wouldn't he show himself?
Next to that, do you know how many Greek "Gods" there are?
Why did they short it down to one "All-ruler God"?
It's a hoax.

This answers your question. If you disagree, you should re-word your question.

It's a hoax.

People use the idea of a God and Gods to explain natural occurrences in life.

Whether or not a god shows himself is not relevant to whether or not the god was intended to be a hoax.

They did not cut down the Greek gods down to one god. Most monotheistic religions have nothing to do with polytheistic religions. Either way, it doesn't pertain to whether or not the idea of a god or gods was created as a hoax.

OK. So if we evolved from protists. Then where did THEY come from? I'm not trying to preach, it's just, there isn't enough proof that there is, and that there isn't.

Yes it is a hoax, was it intented to be a hoax? Probably not.
I get bother all the time from Jehova witnesses, coming to my door asking me to join their church, or make a donation. They have changed their lives for God. Oh wait, priests? What isn't allowed for them? Have sex or a marriage, so they'll touch little children. They risk prison time for that.

The entire idea behind a hoax is intent of deception. If you are saying that there was no intent of deception (which it looks like you did), then it's just the spread of mistaken ideas and flawed logic, not a hoax.

Take a look here, translate it with Google Translator:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoax

It says the exact same thing that I was saying.

A hoax is a deliberately fabricated falsehood made to masquerade as truth.[1] It is distinguishable from errors in observation or judgment,[1] or rumors, urban legends, pseudosciences or April Fools' Day events that are passed along in good faith by believers or as jokes.

Religious followers aren't trying to masquerade the belief of a god as truth when they know it isn't, they're trying to spread the belief of a god because they genuinely believe it to be true. It's not a hoax.
