There's no reason to believe it likely that religion is a constant elsewhere, though Religion is a natural side-effect of our various cognitive biases (make inferences on too little data; assume the familiar; don't constantly try to invalidate what you already know). These are all shortcuts that allow us to save either time or expensive brainpower. So you can only not get religion if those resources aren't constrained (to the point that wasting them has no impact on evolutionary fitness). since humanity is the only data point we have. Both assumptions are just projections of human bias, without any basis in fact. Inductive reasoning is fallacious. Always. But in practice, it often still works well enough. At least if you put enough thought into designing your model.
