Some have postulated that the rise of conspiratorial thinking is exactly this. So people are leaving the church, and moving to QAnon, and cults of personality.

Perhaps organized religion was serving to keep people's need to be part of something more productively contained. However I can tell you it isn't universally a neurological need. There are those of us who get by just fine without any religiosity, or church. I don't know if that is because we are different or if anyone can do it.
