No, it's strong evidence that people have a psychological need for
things to be explained, even if the explanation is wrong. We don't
like not knowing, and so for most people, even a patently ridiculous
"explanation" is better than nothing. Hence the ubiquity of religion.
However, while religious belief may be widespread, it can't truthfully
be called universal in the strictest sense. That would require that
all cultures subscribe to roughly the same belief system, and that's
hardly the case.
