NI .. no mention of Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, Animism, Zoroastrians etc The religious impulse seems pretty deep-seated in humankind and far more widespread than just the Abrahamic religions you mentioned. It’s as if there is some kind of hunger within vast swathes of humanity throughout the generations for connection with a transcendent realm. Even an historic atheistic state like the USSR or a current one like China cannot persuade or coerce its population into completely abandoning religious belief.
