Humans worship Gods

Men and women started to worship gods as soon as they became recognisably human; they created religions at the same time as they created works of art. | My study of the history of religion has revealed that human beings are spiritual animals. Indeed, there is a case for arguing that Homo sapiens is also Homo religious. | This was not simply because they wanted to propitiate powerful forces. | But these early faiths expressed the wonder and mystery that seems always to have been an essential component of the human experience of this beautiful yet terrifying world.
