A book by Rodney Stark called Discovering God, published circa 2007, takes this "evolutionary perspective on religion." He, in part, discusses religions as offering certain things to their followers, and as competing in a religious marketplace.
Another valuable agnostic perspective is Stephen Asma's "Why we need religion".
