Have you listened to "The New Atheists", not an actual group but a term for an ideology.

People like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris. ive only listened to a bit of Dawkins and others but tens of hours of Sam Harris, and I quote and think about passages from his book "On Free Will".

But to your point there's a thing I've noticed lately where intellectuals and commentators are starting to wonder if belief in a God is necessary for human societies to function. The most interesting was that religious belief is the key to overcoming Dunbar's number.

Anyways, I'm interested in your thoughts here.
