The view that such 'baggage' ought to be dispensed with and that rational man should 'face reality' without any 'superstition' is a product of sophisticated culture, in no way true of the original human condition.

This view that belief in the supernatural is universal has been completely confirmed by modern anthropology. Religion is as much a human universal as language or an incest taboo, which is to say a kinship system. Any conception of a 'natural man' who is not encumbered by such 'cultural baggage' belongs to a fictional picture of prehistory, for which there is no solid evidence for the human, socially organized stage.
