Did Religion Help Spread Homosexuality?

Editor's Note: This is strictly a rhetorical question.
Let's say, hypothetically, that there was no religion. I am not only saying no Jesus, no Muhammad, or no Confucius, I am saying that the entire concept of religion doesn't exist. Humans are born, suffer, mate, and die, with no grasp of a higher power. They are no more cognizant of anything beyond themselves than monkeys.
You know who does exist though? Darwin.
What if religion spawned today's homosexual culture, 12 Monkeys-style, by trying to stop it. What do I mean?
As Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals' cross bred at the Dawn of Man, there was no known religion. As time evolved, religion spawned and one of the earliest verses in the Bible is Genesis 1:28 -
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
The main text is: Be fruitful and multiply.
The subtext is: Don't mess around unless you are propagating the species.
But what if homosexuality isn't chosen, but heredity-based? Every time you scared a young homosexual into having heterosexual sex, since the beginning of time, based on religion, you were insuring the homosexual gene was being passed on. The more society protested homosexuality, the more it spread undetected.
If homosexuals only had sex with homosexuals since the beginning of time, that specific personality trait would have eventually died out, right? If the Torah was written around the 6th Century B.C., around 2,600 years ago, and the average female gives birth at the age of 25, that's basically 104-105 generations for the homosexual gene to spread across the planet, with religion helping humans to deny their true selves while they reproduced.
I'm not saying that's what happened? I'm saying WHAT IF that's what happened.
That would be ironic.
Editor's Note II: I'm just one guy, thinking out loud. AI has been around for 1 generation and represents the collective hive. I asked AI: Is homosexuality genetic or psychological?
AI's response? "Homosexuality is not determined by a single cause but by a complex interplay of genetic, biological, and environmental factors, rather than being purely psychological or a "choice." Research suggests genetics account for a limited portion (8–25%) of sexual orientation, with no single 'gay gene.'"
What inspired this article? Two things:
My wife has some cousins from a "Gay Dad." Every time I see them, they are on varying stages of the downward spiral. You say those kids are technically my cousins and they're going to be mad at me for asking such questions?
You know, right now the Middle East is a mess. Under the surface of the turmoil, there is the Sunnis v Shiites, Christians v Muslims, and Jews v Muslims. Is religion really solving more problems in modern society, or causing them?
