So, does it really matter if you are a former-Catholic, as long as you believe that someone is responsible for getting us to the point of creating language?
I agree that it did take spoken language to form concerete religions but I also beleive that even before spoken word there must have been some thought of an abstract being controlling cosmetic forces, that is religions primary function, to explain the unexplainable

and i'm not really sure what your trying to get across in your second statement
