Nah. It all makes sense as a part of human development. If you look at the way faith and religions first began to manifest in things like cremation and stone tombs. Each generation builds on what went before. Religion makes perfect sense in that context.

The correlation between social power and religiosity then makes for some more cynical applications. But even those quite often produced socially useful strictures.
