I suppose it would break all kinds of rules in the general district of religion, (defined here simply as a connection to metaphysical forces) but what if religion were treated as an art form, wherein each individual could use it as a method of expression. And I specifically say 'expression' to give it a certain shift of general focus, as otherwise, religion under the consolidation of a king's power, or the prescription of ossified prophecy leaves religion to be focused on inhibitions / morality. Such religious content is then often consolidated with little room for subjective discrimination by the end-user.
Pre-historic people, I think, generally treated religion more as an art-form in their nascent journey to form it. It was most likely more about an interpretation of their present reality, making it magical as opposed to plain, giving the sea and sky etc. an amplification in importance before first emitting so many rules. Creating their own individual spiritual poetry, art-work, and ideas about good and evil. Of course, most modern religious would surely think all of this was spiritually wrong
