I've heard of the god gene before. I actually think my professor talked about it in one class last year.
To me, it's all a part of the blame game. People look for scapegoats for everything. If theists are eventually proven wrong without a doubt, they don't want to stay "Oops, my bad. I was duped." they want to say "Well, it's not my fault, my parents gave me a gene that predisposed me to be an idiot on the matter."

It'd be nice if it were true, it would signify a new change in social evolution for the betterment of humanity.

I'd say it's more to do with your upbringing and environment.. but maybe there's a little aspect of genetics in there?

Whether or not it is dictated by genetics, there is certainly a psychological disposition to spirituality. I once read a very interesting article (that I posted in another guild and can post here, too, if people would like that) that outlined the psychological difference between body and soul. Basically, we separate our bodies from our identities (or our souls, essentially) and that separation opens up the gateways to god (a bodiless soul) and an afterlife (a body dies, but a soul is eternal.)
Of course, the easy thing to say is "Society makes us that way!" but this same article also described several studies done on young children and infants that gave evidence to this separation.
However, the idea of my being an evolutionary anamolie (I know I spelled that wrong) makes me feel special.
