so what is the need for theism in humans but not animals? I bet a lot of the problems today stem from activly moving away from an adaptation/divine providence tha all humans feel in some form or the other.
I tend to side with Newton. Religion and science go hand in hand when applied correctly.
I'm more of a universalist. God/Universe, are different names for the same thing with a different level of understanding of the natural world. We arre, infact , made from the gasses and dust of stars. Mechanics of the universe created those and us. Thus, with our eyes, the universe looks to itself.
