==Notes==

Traditionally it is thought that MHGs are part of an [[Existential Narrative]] folks tell themselves to facilitate cooperation via the threat of horrific punishment, the so called [[MHG Hypothesis]]; however, research demonstrates thats MHG ''follow'' the development of advanced hierarchical societies. As Watts et. al. say, beliefs like these "follow rather than drive political complexity."<ref>Watts, Joseph, Simon J. Greenhill, Quentin D. Atkinson, Thomas E. Currie, Joseph Bulbulia, and Russell D. Gray. “Broad Supernatural Punishment but Not Moralizing High Gods Precede the Evolution of Political Complexity in Austronesia.” ''Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences'' 282, no. 1804 (April 7, 2015): 20142556. p. 5 https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2014.2556.</ref>. This suggests the rather obvious, that MHG's are used to under pin political and economic hierarchies and authority.
