If you think God created or Hindu religion/ philosophy created it.. Thats absolutely wrong.
God treats all individuals alike who follow the path of righteousness laid down by Him. Come what may his/her caste or creed be; HIS eyes of grace and blessing is alike to one and all. Examples are shabari, Guha, Vibeeshana, Sugreeva and so on where considered so dear to Lord Sri Rama. Valmiki Ramayana only speaks of values for individuals to follow and none other than that.
A person born into a certain caste is based on His/ Her purva samskaara. i.e., the good and bad he/she did in his/her previous birth. That decides his future which is his next birth. THis is not biased/ God given nor any bane of Hindu Society. This can be paralleled to a person committing a henious crime in society in his current birth and getting jailed for life. He can't expect to go work as a Chief Justice of Supreme Court.
While caste demarcates these differences in how individual souls are over births, it doesnt differentiate people in front of God. For all are God's own.

Using caste system for ones own benefit is a sin and such person will suitably be rewarded in full in his next birth. He can be born in an upper caste due to his good deeds.. but the wrong he is doing by bragging about his current status and suppressing other beings will put him at the level he is destined to in his next life and this will go on.
An individual conscious of this will steer clear from this and carry out his deeds/ duties destined for him in the righteous way and soon attain salvation from this cycle of birth and death. People beware of your duties and live life the way it should be lived. There will be no hatred and anger. Evil minded will be dealt with for their intentions in the way suitable for them. Hindu dharma stands only for Dharma and none other. While it shows both sides and there being no hidden agenda, its for the mind and brain in man that needs to choose the right side and live on that.

Caste is created according to the profession of a person
A man by birth is not Intelligent
As per his mentality he chooses his work
Based on their work and thier effort on work, Taste is created and according to the taste, food habit is created and according to the food digests his mind works and according to his mind, he works and chain starts again.
According to the similarity of taste, a group is created and they catogarized it,seperated, continued and followed.

It is understood that food habits and taste is the root cause of the Caste.
One may feel inconvenient to stay very close to a smoker or a drunkard. Accordingly the food digests and excretes from the body,
In the excretion process a lot of waste is released according to the consumption of food.
Important to note is Smoking is better that smoking the smoke from the smoker.
Temples meant for purity and it attracts the positive rays from the sun and accordingly it is built. One who visits the temple can gain the positive rays.
Water in the copper container is different from water in other containers One who visits the temple should be pure. Purity in the sense not only physically but also mentally
God is the incarnation of truth and positive nature especially a giver
One who have the qualities of giving ness and qualities of positive nature and honesty are treated as god.
No one objects in visiting temple. It is those who feels guilty among themselves are not visiting temples.
