Well...if by "religion" you mean "religious teachings, religious institutions and religious officials", then the answer is "quite a few". * Perhaps the most notable is the problem of recording information for future generations. As far as I know, in every known case of writing being developed independently (i.e. not borrowing the idea of writing from a society that introduces the idea), writing was developed by the religious caste. That seems to be definitely true of Egyptian and Cuneiform, and very likely true of Mesoamerican writing systems. Chinese writing: I'm not sure if its origins are religious. * And then we have things like schools and universities and hospitals and orphanages * And things like preservation of classic literature by means of monasteries being involved in the industry of copying documents * and so on and on. I could go on for awhile.
