Wait... What was the worship of rocks called?

[–] notabot@piefed.social 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, what with all that bowing and scraping in front of the holy stones, the smaller stone would sometimes fall off of the big one. That style of worship was thus called "rock and roll".

If rock n roll is a religion, well then, Take me to Church.

Animism is an umbrella term for early religions that worship objects and/or animals.

Doesn't animism pertain to things that are animate, tho? I thought it was worship of living things in particular.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

I remember a lecture long time ago about history of religion and it mentioned rocks, trees and flowers as examples of animism. But my major was very far from that topic, so don't quote me on that.
