Most religions we think of as indigenous are animistic religions, involving worship of spirits that inhabit familiar objects in the landscape and the heavens. These beliefs arose in similar fashion across the world. Many animistic religions gradually adopted the roles of shamans, to lead worship and rituals.

When religions evolved into more sophisitcated forms, they tended to diversify away from their similar origins.
