What religion requires, the only thing that religion requires - is that a group of people strongly agree on value assertions regarding life and how to properly live it.

It is true that the shaman/priest can keep the religion going with word-of-mouth copying.  That is less resilient to change, but perhaps that is a plus, as the holy men can adapt to the times.

As for "people strongly agree on value assertions" - I don't think that is all it takes to make a religion, and I'm saying that as a member of a religion that has no book or creed.  Is MAGA a religion?
