Ah, no need to clarify, I understood what you meant...I guess I wasn't clear in what I meant though

What I mean is that, since the idea of a God is not something that is only meant to explain unexplained things (or is even meant that way at all in many cases) that it likely would come into play still. For most, the concept of a God is not a matter of "I don't understand why this is this way, so there must be a God behind it" - yes, that was the purpose behind many mythologies of the past such as greco-roman mythology - but instead, for most, it's a matter of a feeling one has inside that there is something else at work behind all this science in the universe that we're coming to understand so well. So, were there no religion pre-existing and no Bible, that feeling would still be present for many people and it would just as quickly lend itself to some sort of new religion of sorts.
