Very much. Society is built on the foundations of the culture's shared experiences (history). Religion gives a structure to share beliefs and concepts with. It has a large impact on our history and current events (e.g. the Middle East could not be separated from Religion). It even changes our language (e.g. graceful comes from the Christian concept of "Grace filled"). With the combination of religion providing a shared structure for conceptualization, history, current events, and language, our modern society is heavily influenced by religion. Looking at places like Russia, where there was a systematic push to eliminate religion from the culture, even then, the influence of religion was felt, even simply in the pressure to eliminate it.
