Religion expects science to understand the facts about religion.

But somebody wrote .
They have in the South American Piraha tribe.
The tribe has never had any religion and has no concept of spirits,
gods or anything that remotely approaches one. Not that it matters,
their being religion everywhere means only that man is a social
and itinerant species, not that religion is put their by God.
The only thing that this tribe itself proves is that religion does not
have to be present particularly if a language is isolated,
and nothing more.
