I'm not sure how true that is. Almost every culture over time has had a system of supernatural beliefs, it is used to largely to explain the tough and unanswerable questions in everyday life.
Thoughout history it has been a coping mechanism. Humans have a desire to know the answers, and not knowing is pretty uncomfortable, hence you have seen the decline of religions with the increase in scientific knowledge.
But that isn't organized religion, that is more spiritualism and the belief in something that might/might not be there.
