The research I have seen is consistent with the notion that religion was one of the key drivers of early civilization. Shamans most likely organized the first communal food storage, leading to specialization and the development of an administrative class. This class then had time to think beyond day to day survival.

Empathy and science can do a better job at forming a humanitarian social system than religion.

History clearly shows that.
