I disagree that evolution stops when people developed the ability to think. The same concepts still prevail. Those traits and belief systems which cause the greatest amount of genetic material to passed on the ones that will continue. Now the Social Darwinism aspect may be a stretch that beliefs are passed down in a darwinistic manner but at some point if religion has no benefit it should disappear on its own.
