Actually, it's very likely true, though GreyWolf fails to mention that there are also indications that some humans are predisposed to doubt as well. There is a lot of discussion of religion as an evolutionary byproduct; only the most charitable interpretation could take this as an indication that there might be an actual divine being behind it. It makes far more sense to see this as evidence that religion is, in fact, merely in our perception and not objectively true.
There's a whole ton of information out there on the subject, but here are a few links and videos...
Religion is a product of evolution, software suggests - life - 27 May 2008 - New Scientist
Evolutionary psychology of religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And there's much, much more.
