People use religious cosmology to create a narrative for understanding and explaining the way the universe works. Hunter/Gatherer religions tended to be Animist, and help define their relationship with the natural world.

As humans moved towards sedentary agricultural societies, gods began to control the rain, again defining their relationship with the natural world.

As humans conquered the natural world, gods began to take a role in the conflicts between human beings. And I find a profound relationship between the entrenched racism in the United States and the racial theories of religions birthed in the land of the free manifest destiny. I think Mormonism, The Nation of Islam and Christian Nationalism all perform the function of creating a narrative for the world that they see.

And in the United States of America, racism demands a cosmological explanation.
