Uh, no. The innate tendency to suspect and blame out groups, combined with the innate tendency to rationalize other innate behavior tendencies, is the basis of racism, not religion. What religion does is to give some additional way to rationalize innate tendencies.
For that matter, the acceptance of reality of evolution also gave some additional ways to rationalize innate tendencies.
