Really Widdershins? Dozens = dozens. The meme I’m referring to is that some small number of people figured out how to control people by creating a religion, so they created one by writing scripture. History shows that religion developed some 80 to 200 thousand years ago and became part of how we developed tribes and eventually nations. Along the way, some of that became legends and codification of rules. Your evidence about it not holding true in every case doesn’t dispute that. Again, history, religions come and go, but the idea of creating symbols to support cultural practices is almost always there.

I’m not going to argue some generic definition of religion because there isn’t one. That’s what you tried to do and failed.
