Just say you took a hand full of children raised them and taught them only basics like communication and the main needs to live. YOu than took this group and left them on an island. Do you think they form a religion or find any sense of God?
If your answer is either yes or no please back up your beliefs of why and why not.
Thanks you.

Yes. Well, some would, and some wouldn't.

Peace!
The existence of God is written in the human conscience. Eventually they will ask questions like: Is there a Being that watches over us? Who made the stars and the moon? etc.
No primitive tribe has been found that does not believe in a Supreme Being. They know that someone creates and controls. Another proof that God exists is the fact that the Golden Rule (Do not do to others what you do not want others to do you.} is a law common to all these tribes.

Probably. What you are really asking is if all tribes have a religion of some type. Most tribes do come up with some religion. It might take a few generations but the odds are really high that they would. Not all do though. There are pygmies that were atheists so it is possible that they wouldn't

I would say YES, to start with, they would fear the natural happenings like rain or thunder or lightning as no one could explain them the reasons, as a human instinct is to explore the mystries they would start to unfold and in that path they may start beleiving in existance of supereme being. a few may not go with the this belieff and they may start beleiving in other things, yes they will form groups and have their own beleifs. I hope this is how the existing religion too emerged.

It's pretty obvious that without any scientific knowledge they would use supernatural explanations for the world they live in. Every civilisation has performed this and always come up with their own ideas and beliefs, I doubt that, without outside input, these people would begin to believe in a single all loving god.

I think that they would. It has happened numerous times. I have seen the relatively primitive and isolated people in Papua New Guinea and I have seen there beliefs. I have learned about the Australian Aborigines dreamtime stories and can see how their beliefs developed. The same would occur in any community deprived of scientific and logical learning

Since there are records of religious beliefs in the earliest writings of man, I would have to say the evidence would lead us to that conclusion. If you were to put together a study group and they didn't form a belief in a God, then I would have to ask why our ancestors did.

The Lord of the Flies by Golding. It is often described as reversion to savagery but reversion to a theocratic society is also an appropriate description.

Yes, because it has happened in the past with isolated civilizations and cultures.

Religion teaches to be fearful of it's own teachings.
Spirituality is based on human experience.
