Exactly what I was thinking. Whether there is intelligent life on this planet or not is debatable. Perhaps it's a tendency of evolved sentience in our universe to devise a religion that it, as a species, can never quite throw off and ends up destroying it.
The probability of a species developing and/or being unable to outgrow a religion should perhaps be added to the Drake equation.
