who created you?

Why not ask 'what' instead of 'who'? Using the word 'who' carries a hidden implication that the God you believe in is the only possible explanation. Can the God of the Bible, as an example, be reasonably connected with the universe we see?

Mum and dad.

...you have heard of sexual intercourse, conception, pregnancy and childbirth, have you?

There is no God, unless he is a bloody peeping tom!
you don't understand. who created your parents? who created what there is?

yes, of course. god spoke and creation took form. everything there is is manifestation of god.

My parents were born from my respective grandparents, and my grandparents, from my great grandparents, and so on.

There are still no God involved, no matter far generations go.

Is this god associated with any religion? Which one and why? Why not some other religion? Why any religion at all? Why should whatever is responsible for things existing be a who and not a what?

yes, he is associated with all religions. religions are just different perspectives of the god.

Why should whatever is responsible for things existing be a who and not a what?
what's the difference between who and what? i use ''who'' because god is the cause of action.

'Who' implies a conscious entity who might take some kind of action relative to us that is not in strict accordance with the laws of nature according to how we act or seek to communicate.

'What' is not a conscious entity.
