“You do, you know,” said The Lady. “Everyone has gods. You just don’t think they’re gods.”

      Not to contradict the great Dominar (although it wouldn’t be the first time someone did), but there are many pre-literate folk religions that don’t have any sacred texts. There’s also no universal sacred texts for Wiccans and Shinto doesn’t really have sacred texts. There are texts considered important, but I don’t think sacred would be the right word for them since they’re not considered divine.
