I think that would depend on the initial family that was stranded on the island. If they already had strong religious beliefs, then they would most likely continue to hold them and teach those same beliefs through the generations.
But if what you are assuming is that the family is not religious and they also do not pass along any scientific knowledge and that we are then presumably working with a clean slate with no preconceived notions of any religions or science, then it would be more than likely a new religion would be born. It has always been the way man has explained things he has no answer for.

My family---I should hope not. However, it was proven time and time again while the Jews were in the wilderness that people have a tendency to want to believe. So the Jews would often stray from God and follow something else. Which is also why they were in the wildreness for 40 years. One big long time out! In my opinion, we all have a God shaped void. Since we are not born saved....we have a void. All try to fill that void. The only thing that fits is Jesus Christ. However, many try other ways first: other religion, sex, drugs, not believing, self believing, whatever. So, yes, I think that people eventually would loose sight because we are people. Someone would want to believe something else or get offended. I think a new religion would be born but I think it would be a split not instead of Chrisitanity.

So their offspring are incestuously populated?
Seemed like a biblical fable?A new religion could only be formed provided they are influenced by outsiders and not within the family.

Heh, they'd probably be so inbred centuries later that.. yes, I'd say there would be a bunch of religions by then.
