Much of the world used to believe in Polytheism. But certain religions would come in and outlaw other gods. Or over time, take away those god's god status while keeping the one god they originally wanted the people to only follow.

But Polytheism is like your culture, it was different gods for each area. That might be unique to your family, group, town, state, etc.

And in a Polytheism world, you could keep your god or gods while also adopting ones from cultures you like. Like a free flowing of information, an exchange of ideas. Rather than a locked shut gate that says only one way is acceptable.

Nothing will stop humans from being human.

Religion or the lack thereof makes no difference.

What does OT think of ancestor worship, And praying to one's ancestors as if they were gods?

Its an idea I've really never heard outside the east, not counting cults worshiping their leader of course. Unless we count say mexico's day of the dead.

We were killing each other as cavemen, and we're killing each other now as brainrotted modernists
