Whether people are concerned with God (like Christians), gods (like the Egyptians of antiquity), ancestors (like the Burkina Fasoans), or spirits (like the ancient Hawaiians), supernatural consequences tend to result from behavior that is perceived as “good” or “badfor the community as a whole (and also often for the individuals themselves). […] Ancestors can still haunt the lives of atheists just as they do for Hawaiians or Burkina Fasoans.”
