My 'religion', so to speak, Bhaki-Yoga (the yoga of devotion, the theistic branch) says that there was never a time that we didn't exist as individual souls (especially according to the Bhagavad-Gita ~ The Song Of God). Along with God who is also an individual personality.
Anyway it's not necessarily that we were created by Him (& there is a She too). It might be hard to grasp, it's waaaaay too inconceivable with what we have available to us here, to understand these things. But it's said that it is an eternal existance & relationship with God, that we never loose.
Now we did choose to be here on earth or in this realm, more seemingly seperate from God, but only 10 percent of all the souls that exist chose that.
