In essence I'm speculating that shamanism is the natural belief system of our hunter-gatherer ancestors but found itself ill adapted to the civilized world.
In effect the organised religions equate to evolutionary adaptations in order to survive in a hostile environment of which the polytheistic variety appear to be the more stable.
Why is "shamanism" not organized?
Why is a priest who raises the dead , exorcizes demons, and becomes a universal human sacrifice not a form of shamanism?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
