And yes, a religion as such is an ontic description of the supposed relation between Being and beings. But before such a description could be made there must have been a moment when no description was yet available and "from the pine tree one learned of the pine tree". Besides, might it not be more correct to say that the Western world as we know it originates from the forgetting of the question concerning being.
