gollark: Having a humanlike mind behind it is totally a human trait.
gollark: Like saying that lightning is caused by thunder gods and not ??? cloud things, for example.
gollark: I mean anthropomorphization as in assuming that physical phenomena are driven by some kind of humanish mind, not taking animals and making them vaguely human-shaped.
gollark: Religions also involve our tendency to anthropomorphize all things ever and overzealously pattern-match.
gollark: Religions rely on weird brain quirks which I think Ponzi schemes depend less heavily on.
