In a nutshell, we humans have religion by virtue of our complex verbal behavior.  God is a concept.  We could not have a well formulated God without the ability to conceptualize. That ability is a product of advanced verbal behavior skills. Sure, there are other pre-requisite characteristics that we and elephants, primates, etc., have as part of our evolutionary heritage.  But God was created when we were able to have a concept of God.  Emerging religions were passed on thru verbal traditions. And when textual behaviors (a subset of verbal behavior) became a common skill, religions could really take off.

“In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was God.”
