Sure? I touched on that at the beginning of the thread. I think religions (and beliefs about gods) are an attempt to describe and categorize nature. They look like first attempts to me. I see them increasing in complexity over time as new facts (or assertions to fact) come to our attention.
In that process christianity, for example, manages to get meaning, import and morality wholly wrong while still describing some true things to it.
