You're correct. Religious belief is an evolved memetic/genetic survival mechanism.
Those parts of the human brain were never about logic and accurate observation of the material world - so they are safe from new facts and logic for now.
Probably at some point (assuming we survie), our own genetic/cybernetic modifications will so increase our intelligence, that religion will fall away completely... but that's beyond the Singularity.
