DM: Funny thing is I started this line of criticism about historical
causality not natural scientific. But natural scientific explanation are
always simplifications because they pull out key features of a
process-situation and exclude others that over complicate the
causality.

DM: Politics is all about how we live together, at one time custom
and religion ran social life, but power elites are present too and they have
used religion as a tool. How else could we describe the aristocracy?
I see more factors in this mix than you seem to recognise. I can accept
useful models as long as they admit their limitations. Try it.
