Human morality is as much a cultural phenomenon as it is biological. As such, it doesn't evolve quite the same way that biological traits do, although it adheres to some of the same principles: if an idea appeals, given the (cultural) circumstances, then it will quickly propagate throughout the population (the society). The way human morality changes over time is similar to the ways in which biological traits evolve over time, but not the same.

Does evolution coincide with religion and if so how and if not why?

To get very technical, you can say believing in evolution is a religion. Religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. Some Christians believe that God cause the big bang and evolution to happen. But if Christians believed strictly in the Bible, then no, evolution does not coincide with it as far as I can see. It all depends on the religion and the person.
