While that statement is true, it does not infer the following:

Because the aboriginals had, and still have their own religion.

The Australian aboriginals were a very primitive people when Europeans arrived. They had no written language and were very tribal, so much so that there were upwards of 200 different languages for an estimated 400,000 people.

The Dreamtime could be considered some form of religion, however they do not worship a god. They claim to be guardians of the land. A group of Ancestral spirits in the forms of humans, animals and plants came to Earth and created everything.

As we all know, someone makes up the stories that develop into religious dogma.
