Humans are a social animal. It's natural for us to form into groups. One of the ways we do that is by religion.
Humans are also violent animals. It's natural for individuals and groups to come into conflict with each other. I think wars happen more because of natural resources, but religion IS one of the things that can bring two groups into conflct.
If there was no such thing as religion, we would still form groups based on something, and those groups would want to kill each other.
