Why does all this exist or happen, that is the religious question and people can debate that forever and no one will have an answer that satisfies everyone.

No, its still not religious.

Why did that rock roll down the hill?  Thermal cracking caused it to weaken from other rocks and when there was enough gravitational force overcome its tensile strength it broke free and rolled down the hill until its kinetic and potential energy was spent and it came to a halt at the bottom.  No religion necessary, just facts.  The same for evolution, just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you can insert Jesus, Allah, Bhudda, or what have you in there.

This post kind of reminds me of a saying I heard once explaining the philosophy behind religion and science and how science is apart from religion philosophically. It's not nice so if you are religious and don't want to read it, you have been warned.

I can't remember it exactly, but it was something like...

"You can go to a church in the USA and be judged for not accepting god, you can go to a Mosque in Iran and be judged for not believing in Allah, you can go back in time and be judged for not worshiping Thor. But what did all these religions have in common? E=MC². Science is* a Universal constant, Religion is not."

But I'm sure the original was far more eloquent than that.
