So the take-home message is that atheism is for primitives?
Got that.
There is more to the book than just their rejection of Christianity (notice how they still talk to their "spirirts") and it is laughable how this tribe's behavior is nothing unique but is nevertheless lauded.
No, I think the take-home message is that atheism (except for spirits in the rocks) is superior to our puny Bible. We, too, could aspire to the heights of their enviable “civilization.” If only we weren’t so backwards.
