Yeah but that's why religion exists in the first place. Because instead of saying they didn't know somebody made up a load of bullshit.

So, it's virtually impossible to imagine a world without it then.

Well, yes. Keep in mind religion is like a primordial science. It was the desire to explain. If man had never sought to explain with myth, he would have never thought to explain with fact.
