The dawn of civilization

RE: The dawn of civilization
It's hard to overstate the place of supplication for people who had very little control over so much as the daily circumstances of their lives.  Whether a person prays to a god or asks the rain to fall the success rate is the same, and the same as it is now..but it doesn't hurt to ask and it may at least comfort the afflicted.

It's entirely unlikely that the earliest forms of supernatural observance had much in the way of negative connotation that they do now..for simple lack of a context. For example, we can see that a trend of ethnocentrism cropped up by the early ancient era....but proto agriculturalists would likely have had no Other™ with which to compare themselves. They may have considered themselves The People, and perhaps even The Chosen People (by sheer virtue of their existence, lol)....but it would take contact and conflict with others to contextualize both of those relatively innocuous beginnings into religious xenophobia.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
