Religion and Feritility Cult

James seems to not recognize the activities of a fertility cult as a variety of 'religious experience', thereby contributing to the suspicion, encouraged by his neglect of Pantheism, of a prejudice against Corporeality. He also, therefore, misses an opportunity to examine to what extent some Biblical sects are fertility cults. For example, on the standard reading, the fundamental sin of Adam and Eve is to disobediently engage in sexual relations, one common corrective of which is a 'morality' of severely regimented reproductive activity, that seeks literal instantiations of the expression 'God the father'. In other words, the focus of these sects on sexual mores reveals them as fertility cults, whether or not they are explicitly represented as such.
