Best Answer

History present no clear facts about the religion of people of Indus valley civilization. They might have been nature worshipers, or perhaps followed some Pre-Aryan or Pre-Vedic religion, most probably Jainism (facts relating to Jainism are supported by some of their practices and the seals that have been found there). Figures that resemble Shiva, a Hindu deity, have been found on some Indus seals.

Yes and no. These people were highly intelligent and knew what was happening in the heavens but most of them were pagan and worshiped many aspects of nature as gods.
