Religion does seem to be an essential motivator of human behavior. By that, I mean if all knowledge and physical evidence of religion was to be wiped out of existence, a later new evolution of man would most likely still imaginatively create religion, albeit not precisely the same form that existed in the past, because he tends to have this propensity to confuse seeking knowledge with having found it through a medium that offers mental and emotional comfort.
No doubt, religion played its role in shaping our current society. However, that is not necessarily a good thing. It never could be, because religion forsakes knowledge for a close-minded falsity that restricts and prevents proper intellectual cultivation.
