The notion of a prime number is far more complex than the notion of a god. As a point of interest, we've held and understood the latter for much longer than the former ourselves. As far as we can tell, no change in our cognitive apparatus was required in order to proceed from one state to the other.
That we implicitly privilege complex god beliefs -as- the notion of god is bound up in our cultural traditions - which is probably why a person who does not believe in those traditions but has immersed themselves in that traditions literature meets an impasse in discussing gods (and god belief) with a person who has a deeper and broader understanding of the notion than could be gleaned by staring at christian art.
Food for thought.
