It's absolutely possible, there's such a thing as a religion of nature. Insomuch as a given religionist fails to employ such a productive and compelling methodology of gathering facts about the world in mere reality to inform their religious views, then it's no wonder they end up with dead and life denying religions. It's a specific and individual failure.
