You don't need to belong to an organized religion. You just have to believe that there is a higher power. You can name it Fred if you want. Religions came about to control the masses. Now they are mostly there for socializing. Being apart of your village or collective. No two people have the same beliefs. No minister or priest has any better idea of what happens when you die than you do. You have the power to make this world and this life your heaven or hell by how you treat each other. You/we are the angels and the demons. The forgiveness, the mercy, the acts if kindness you show glorify you. Going to a church once a week and begging for forgiveness and then going out and being a horrible person again is not following any religion. There are atheists and agnostics and even animals that are better than that. You know what to do.
Can you name a single serious anthropologist who would agree w/your hypothesis about the origin of religion?
