I voted yes because new religions are being started in modern times. For example, UFO Religions.

It's possible that our species evolved to have religion.

Quote:Professor Pascal Boyer, an anthropologist at Washington University and author of Religion Explained, said that atheism was probably the unnatural way to be.

I've been reading a number of articles about how and why humans could have acquired religion as the result of evolution and all of them conclude that atheists are the odd ones out.
