However they may have created their own by then, or remained without any.

I'm sure however, that societies will naturally rend towards the development of a religion and a priest caste until better understanding of the nature of the world makes that no longer necessary.

Individual atheists and philosphers may crop up ahead of their time but the move towards secular societies requires a security and level of science education.

I can provide no data for this assertion.
