Which relationships? What purpose do you think they served?
the interrelatedness of everything in the cosmos as it is expressed in many indigenous religions.
People looked around at the land, sky, water, and wondered how they all fit together and how people and other animals fit into this scheme. By developing a unified theory of the cosmos, people found their own spritual place in the universe.
In my experience, Humans want to know why they are here, what is their purpose, and how do they fit into the nature of things. Religion plays a central purpose in this.
