The origins of religion in human evolution are rooted in the use of psychedelic substances, such as the magic mushrooms and other natural plants. When these sources of inspiration dried up, due to climatic and other conditions some eight to ten thousand years ago, alcohol replaced them - and the world has been going downhill ever since. It's not a coincidence that many of the rituals of Judeo-Christianity involve alcohol, and that the history of these religions is drenched in the blood of hapless millions.
