Meanwhile, the cults continue to incantate to the god(s) as in the neolithic era. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_anachronism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_anachronism

Many pagan cult rituals persist in newer religions. Religion itself is anachronic to the modern ethos.
