Was religion vital for human survival

I hate religion for all the harm it has caused and all the delay it has caused in advancement of science. However, few questions always linger in my brain.
With all the communication barriers and civilizations separated by such huge distances , is religion the only way we could have survived?
Could it be that democracy would have evolved much faster if there was no religion?
