Hunter-gatherers do not have religion as such. They see spirit everywhere, in everything; they are animists, and to them everything is alive. And, living in natural environments, they are quite right since natural things contain spirit: the spirit of creation, the spirit of place and connexion, and the spirit of duration or span, and so they are alive, though maybe not organically so. Man-made artefacts and environments are artificial and are largely devoid of spirit. They can acquire spirit over time and with correct use, so an old church or cathedral has much more and better spirit than a new supermarket, and an old set of well-worn tools has better spirit than a new unused set. However, as our lives became more removed from the natural, it required the invention of a remote transcendent God and a mythical Garden of Eden where lost spirit thrives naturally, awaiting our return.
