The Original Religion
Debate Information
It has been universally agreed that the first recorded religion is the Australian "Dreamtime", dating back some 65,000 years.
Now, perhaps our Abo cousins were onto the real essence of what religion is all about in calling it the "Dreamtime". There is no evidence of the word "delusion" in their ancient rock-art scriptures so we could reason that the nearest word to such an induced trance-like state would be "dream".
"Hey matey. What's he doin over there gazin into the sky like that? "
"Whadddyknow mate, He's havin a dreamtime."
Even today, The Dreamtime has well and truly permeated into popular Australian parlance. For example, In the cult movie "The Castle" (highly recommended) the protagonist repeatedly uses the common Aussie vernacular "Tell im he's dreamin".
So, Do you see why Australia has one of the highest rates of atheism in the world? It's all about having the ability to stand out from delusion and identify it for what it is.
Even the Aboriginals nowadays tend to talk about the Dreamtime as a term of reference. Don't get me wrong, many of them are still profoundly spiritual. It's just that the spirits they now tend to worship come in a bottle or fuel pump or a tube of glue in a plastic bag.
