January is for Janus, the Roman god of thresholds, who looks both forward and back. June, I would guess, is related to Juno, March to Mars; I'd have to check about the rest, though I would suspect these come from Latin sources as well.
I see no reason why societies, even an entire world, could have evolved without ever postulating religion. In many ways, it seems at least as far-fetched to me to imagine unseen, mighty beings running the world as it does to imagine that people wouldn't make them up to "explain" things they didn't understand.
