That's not even remotely true, plenty of civilizations and societies have all those things without active/overwhelming religion. Religion is a means of control

Religion is a means of controlling the masses, the original method. When the promise of a "better afterlife" is not enough, then they invent the warnings of punishment like "hell". Then they invent ways for the wealthy to buy their way in by giving money to the religion. Like anyone knows the "rules" or how anything works, especially if invented before microscopes, telescopes or even glasses.
