I struggle to find anything. Perhaps it has shown the capacity for humans to live emotional lives (high and low)? I dont think this was only possible through religion, of course.
I find the question confusing since I dont think religion is about proving statements or for learning about how the world works - I think that's for maths and science.
I think religion is an attempt at making sense of something fundamentally incomprehensible to us.
