Where Does Religon Really Come From?

“Where does religion really come from?” is a question that has been asked all over the ages. Well, in truth, nobody knows, but lots of people have tried to make up theories...

There must have been lots of crazy theories, such as ghosts in a cave, Jesus in a pan of tomato soup, or 7 errors appearing on Adobe InDesign, but none of them have survived to this time.

In fact, the only theories that survived are from Edward Burnett Tylor, James George Frazer, Rudolf Otto, Mircea Eliade, E. E. Evans-Pritchard, Clifford Geertz, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Emile Durkheim, Bronislaw Malinowski, and Max Weber.

They all came up with their own theories, and, as you might be able to guess, not all of them were right.

Half made Substantive Theories, and the other created Functional Theories.
