Being the herd species that we are, that is somewhat true, but enough individuals in history have proved to think and act beyond our nature, with positive results.
Without the yoke of religious ruling, many more alike might have had the chance to speak up and contribute to a better world.
But, without that religious ruling would there have been the perceived need for them to? I am unsure of individuals impacting culture in any meaningful manner where the governing society was pleased with the initial movement of the change.

Actually, "their social guidlines" are what started it all. I'm more in favour of the Ancient Greeks and the celts morality and philosophy if it's okay with you.

A good point, as those religions/believes left more room for individuality and personal decisions, and weren't as abused like religions were later on.

Not to mention that their ethnicity is based on 2,000 year old arabian ethnicity.
