You could test the hard-wired theory by reference to nueroscience or genetics. You could test the shared experience theory by reference to comparative mythology. As it just so happens, both angles have been tried. The comparative mythology angle shows us that the common experience described by religion is that of the experience of life in the natural world. The neuroscience and genetics angle I believe was recently written about by Richard Dawkins (though I haven't read the book and so you'd have to source the info from elsewhere).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
