It's funny I feel like people might see someone use a word that sounds like some religion like animism and slot in like, whatever comes to mind when one considers a religion they don't know about and how it must be weird or Obscure And Involved or whatever when animism barely counts as a religion imo

#i dont talk about it much here partially for this reason cuz i feel like people are gunna think im weird cjdjxnfje #and most of the stock definitions of animism online suck #anthropology is such that anything that doesnt seem to be based entirely in reality might could be considered a religion #which is kinda funny lmao because thats such a wide scope of human existence and culture thats just 'oh its religion' #and considered something totally separate from other parts of the culture or human experience #sorta? idk thats at least the american perception. #idk if this makes any sense
