Hindus and Vedic horsemen were devoted to alcohol of mare's milk and Soma probably ephidrine. Indra liked his Soma.
"We have drunk soma and become immortal; we have attained the light, the Gods discovered.
Now what may foeman's malice do to harm us? What, O Immortal, mortal man's deception?"
The 6 o'clock swill was a homage to the barley god in packed temples.

All humans are religious

Definitely not ! But, most people have an in-built sense of a presence of something they respect but can't tell what it is.
Even the most so-called primitive tribes have an awe/superstition/faith.
Religion is what destroys a soul.

But NNN, was Indra coughing up $7.50 like me, for a schooner of soma? Just to listen to his favourite Vedas band, doing a traditional Indian version of Rubbish Binnie! I reckon NOT!

Certainly everyone serves and worships either the Creator or something created. I am not convinced that makes them religous

Tirta Empul in Bali marks an epic battle between a powerful and magical king named Mayadenawa and the God Indra . Mayadenawa snuck into Indra’s camp and created a poisonous pond that the army would drink from upon their awakening. Indra awoke to find many of his men dead and scores more sick and dying. It was then, with mighty power that the God Indra, piercing the ground with his staff , created the sacred healing spring of holy water. Beer Prices in Bali. Beer in Bali is pretty cheap, unless you're after imported beer. The average price for local beer is anywhere from Rp15,000(AU$1.50) to Rp90,000 (AU$9). Indra's blessing costs anywhere between a half a coconut and a king's ransom .

Religion leads people astray.
They believe their own crap doesn't stink.
- But it still does.
