Anyone have a decent grasp on animism? I'm curious whether the animist *worldview* can be analyzed apart from its *worship practices.*

@KevinSimler Not an expert, but religions are more than personal beliefs or worldviews---they are social expressions of such things.
@rtoal Yeah that's the point I'm trying to make. I want to locate "religion" in the dancing and totemism, not the animist belief in spirits

@KevinSimler I think you can - though the flip side is that religion is more than just cultural practices; it has to be tied to a worldview. -
@rtoal you're totally right... I just haven't fully internalized that part of the equation yet :)
