"While the Pirahã have no concept of a supreme spirit or god they do believe in spirits and that they can sometimes take on the shape of things in the environment. These spirits can be jaguars, trees, or other visible, tangible things including people.[5] Everett reported one incident where the Pirahã said that “Xigagaí, one of the beings that lives above the clouds, was standing on a beach yelling at us, telling us that he would kill us if we go into the jungle.” Everett and his daughter could see nothing and yet the Pirahã insisted that Xigagaí was still on the beach.[6]
Pirahãs take naps of 15 minutes to two hours at the extremes throughout the day and night, and rarely sleep through the night."

The Pirahas have a basic spirituality. I don't see why the formulation of a God concept is necessary in all stages of spiritual development. This is the human trait we commonly see in all peoples.
Living for the here and now is central to faith too.
