Yeah because desecrating religious sanctuaries has stopped humanity thus wait
Oh, I meant it more in the sense how archeologists/historians often say something was used for some religious or ritual purposes when they can't come up with a better explanation. See for example Stonehenge or roman dodecahedrons. There was also the idea for an atomic priesthood which would be charged with keeping the knowledge about nuclear waste sites.
At least with Stonehenge it makes sense to group it in with religious worship of some type since it matches known human actions both historical and modern. As for Roman dodecahedron my money is still on it just being a nick nack, an expensive one but a nick nack none the less.
Roman dodecahedrons were the NFTs of ancient times.
