Yes. Religion was not created in a vacuum. It is an expression of the natural forces. Morality, reason, etc. are all natural forces, they are what we have used to evolve our various concepts of "religion." It is impossible to separate the two because they are linked.
The sun and understanding its power over our universe was the beginning of the concept of an ominipotent God--w/ or w/o organized worship.
Even being semi-conscious of the fact that the sun will rise tomorrow and the tide will come in, are in fact religious expressions.
