From the book The new humanities reader by Richard miller and Kurt Spellmeyer, there is an essay by the title of Homo Religiosus. In that Essay, the Author, Karen Armstrong explores the shared roots of modern religion in order to show ways that religion and its rituals were practices that had meaning and purpose in the lives of pre-modern people. These ancestors saw their religion as mythical and metaphorcal, and were likely to repudiate any gods that did not directly influence their daily lives.
