Sociologists who study religion point out that the belief
in gods tends to emerge when societies develop rigid political
hierarchies (the "King" or "Chief" is mirrored in the spiritual world by
a god or gods). In hunting and gathering societies, belief in gods is
the exception rather than the rule (animism differs dramatically from
deity worship).

If you've got time, could you expand on how animism differs from belief in
gods....just a bit Miles?
