The idea that humans naturally evolved to be religious is funny. Do you think that mammals naturally trend to theism, or is it a general vertebrate thing? — Nope, our ancestors were quite actively selected for religion, with fire and sword.

You seem to think that religion was needed to increase the size of social groups? But most societies that we have detailed knowledge about were religiously inhomogeneous. Take modern Russia as an example. Gods are only one of several ways to unite people. (But I'm no expert.)
