Not religion per se but belief in god has been theorized (and supported by some research) as having evolutionary basis. It basically has been theorized as a (useful) byproduct of our brain's ability to see patterns in nature, the ability to see something from others' point of view (theory of mind or empathy––giving rise to seeing intent in natural phenomenon), and passing on knowledge to next generations.
