Excerpt from Origin and Development of the Bible
Accompanying this universal instinct and coincident with it are man's strivings after God, and his desire to worship Him. This accounts for the fact that no race or tribe of men has yet been discovered which did not have a form of worship, a ritualistic ceremony, or a system of sacrifice. The most grossly sensual practices of Aboriginal tribes are to be traced to this consciousness of the supernatural, and viewed in this light they are to be judged charitably rather than censoriously.
