You believe in yourself. Others believe in a power outside of themselves. Something YOU might see as just "chance", when something of a miracle happens (if you've ever seen or experienced one). Or that things are pre-destined. Or that things happen that REALLY can't be explained.
Mystical worship of the seasons, stars, planets or the spirit of animals is NATURAL in ANY society; it shows people sense there is more to the world than just THEMSELVES.
Of course "I won't list them, as I don't want to offend any of the very many nice people around here who don't believe, and they're obvious. "
