This is a naive world view.
Religion became a tool for the powerful to suppress the masses. I doubt it was ever "for the good of the tribal man", although it's a nice story.
I believe most people have an innate spiritual side, questioning our roles in the universe and what life is really all about.
But powerful people(like Peter Thiel) have throughout history enforced their own fucked up world views on the rest of us, via indoctrination and blunt force. It's still ongoing.

People are wired to follow their leaders.
