Hmm. More like the basis of "all" religions. You will no more believe in 
any religion, without exposure to it, than you would spontaneously 
develop a belief in Santa Claus, while living in the Amazon jungle. But, 
you would pick up the local belief in, "spirits of the forest", but not, 
from what I remember of those tribes, some idea of one great spirit, in 
charge of it all.
