    I am against all beliefs and religions. Especially ones that breathe down my neck.

      Zoroastrianism: One good (Zoroaster/Zarathustra) and one devil (Ahura Mazda). Epic battle of good vs. evil.

      Let's all become Zoroastrians!

            Sumerian Polytheism: Anthropomorphic gods, not omnipotent or immortal, all in the same family, the sky god rules them all.

            Babylonian Polytheism: The Sumerian gods are all present with different names, and a new god, the patron god of the city of Babylon rules all.

            Minoan Polytheism: Anthropomorphic female goddesses, nature is their domain.

                I am pretty sure they wouldn't have believed in fat armless goddesses (or Fat Armless Goddess), but that's pretty much the only theory with a shred of evidence to it.

                Define "human". What do chimps believe in?

                  sorry, I am talking about cro-man

                  I'm trying to find out what the very basic human would have believed in.

                  Like The Aztecs, what did they believe in? What about the African tribes, what were their beliefs? American Indians, etc, that sort of thing

                      There's several weird Japanese religions, although I've never heard of this one. I only know about Aum Shinrikyo and Tenrikyo. I live pretty close to the worldwide headquarters of Tenrikyo, actually. Maybe I should check it out...

                        The Cult of the Cave Bear theory turned out to be a lot of hot air and lousy evidence, so we really have no idea.

                        You are out luck, because there's no way of finding out.

                        Like The Aztecs, what did they believe in?


                        Aztecs and, more so, MesoAmericans in general had stable agricultural and urban societies.

                        Fairly polytheistic. Aztecs emphasized human sacrifice in order to prevent armageddon.

                        Unfortunately, they failed, and the Bruce Willis movie did manage to come out.

                        What about the African tribes, what were their beliefs?


                        Diverse. Africa's a fairly large continent. It encompasses and encompassed nomadic cultures, agricultural cultures, and urban cultures.

                        Generally polytheistic.

                        American Indians, etc, that sort of thing
