@sm_ar_ta_ss @pipobulg @FreddieFishFin1 @empiretrading_ Religion is inherent to being human. It may or may not be unique to humans. https://t.co/VYm18t8WrZ https://t.co/6VdWND2qmr
@umbranoid @minogully @evilsteveve @alc_anthro Hardly, as evidenced in this paper https://t.co/UXzH1MDZRt Where we can follow the evolution of religion and their deity types

@BachgenA In all cases what I think happened, was around 2300BC. So today any tribe could have been influenced by it through time/exchanges There are still plenty of tribes who have no belief in afterlife (30%) nor in Ancestral worship (55%) All are animis
@Upside_Down_Rpt @country_spaces Completely agree actually and this paper explains why. https://t.co/UXzH1MDZRt What I disagree with is that what you see as evidence for god is actually evidence given what we know. No interest in arguing the existence
