You're equating the biological theory of evolution with the psychology of religious beliefs. Doesn't seem vaild to me.
​
The basis and origin of religious belief lies in the inexplicable natural world. We were at the caprice and whim of natural forces throughout our evolution. Lightning or floods or unfortunate events were assigned a cause, a great and powerful unseen being.
