That is an interesting question.

If I were an atheist, I would probably presume that religion began with sun worshipping. The sun is big, it's majestic, it kills, but you need it to survive. That sounds very deity-like.

I can't account for why there are so many religions out there. I think a universal spirituality which people tap into -- and somehow get the details wrong for -- is more believable than aliens showing up, doing a bunch of impressive stuff, and disappearing for several thousands of years at a time.
