In the begineing i t was the animism, a 'belief in spirits'. This ''religion is still spread in significant numbers in countries such as Zambia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, the Republic of Guinea Bissau, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Sweden, Thailand, Canada and the United States
As primitive tribes joined forces and the nations appeared a few thousands of years ago the great politheistic religions appeared. The politheism is still at the basis of Hinduism an Buddhism.
Then the great monotheistic religions appeared and, with the work of Jesus, our saviour, the Christianity raised as the one and true religion!
What I want to say is that it was a natural process of trial and error where individuals and nations chose the belief that best suited their moment in history and civilisation.
This is the historical evidence that we have to learn to believe if we want the others to listen what we want to say.
