The cool thing about religion is that the only thing that counts is that it "works". Also some of the traditions in the old testament might be beneficial w.r.t. health for example. There is a lot about diet (pork meat, blood, milk, seafood). There are social rules about leprosy, children, elderly. It's not such a stretch to think that those rules filter the societies that survive. It's Darwinian but on the level of religious/spritual memes. Don't tell Dawkins. :-)
