"The strong theory suggests that skin color,...evolved actively as discriminators in choosing mates. The weak theory, ..places cultural differences, such as language and religion, in the same role as geographical separation." The Ancestor's Tale, Richard Dawkins p.411
Sorry Mr. Dawkins... but...the idea that skin color, language & religion "evolved" for mate selection is utter nonsense.
How about ---
Skin Color exists because we have been DESIGNED with built-in genetic variation, based upon the SCIENCE. "Skin color is due primarily to the presence of a pigment called melanin , which is controlled by at least 6 genes. Both light and dark complexioned people have melanin. However, two forms are produced--pheomelanin , which is red to yellow in color, and eumelanin , which is dark brown to black. People with light complexioned skin mostly produce pheomelanin, while those with dark colored skin mostly produce eumelanin." palomar.edu
Religion exists because there was one true God, and our ancestors rebelled, and began making up their own religions as they went along to suit themselves. "A religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence." Wikipedia

because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God,
neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened.
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image
made like to corruptible man,
and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Romans 1:21,23
