Solid distinction.

Religion primed the rubes, and a new godhead told them he is their salvation.

Religion didn't prime them. Religion merely exploits the same human psychological weaknesses. This is why they go hand in hand.

Hmm. Maybe look up what priming (verb) means.

I know what it means. I guess I didn't make my point clear enough, that's on me. I didn't think I had to write it for an eli5 audience.
