Very first Religion?
#2
RE: Very first Religion?
Probably some kind of anamsism, a belief that rocks, trees, animals, rivers have spirits.

When early man was frightened and confused by the random manner in which his universe tries to kill him he would have sought to appease it.

Probably some lazy, cunning son-of-a-bitch found that by dressing up in animal skins and talking funny he could frighten the tribe into feeding and looking after him.

Thus was born the first priest.
'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? Jer 8:8
