Well if you truly believe in the 3 Abrahamic religions (Islam, Judaism, Christianity), then god did reveal himself right from the begining in the story of adam and eve. They knew god existed and god made them perfect, without sin. At least I think he did.

The world then was a paradise, it was the garden of eden. Most people probably know the story, God's only rule was to stay away from the tree of knowledge (kind if ironic, huh). They were tempted and ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge and "their eyes were opened" and they realized they were naked and had sin and god banished them from paradise...I guess because he is not as forgiving as he likes people to think.

That is why all humans have sin, according to those religious texts (even the Koran). So basically humanity has to submit and praise god because of their sins because some naked people got convinced that knowledge was better than paradise by a snake.
