I found it interesting that they said humans used to think CoG were either "animals possessed by evil spirits" or "the spirits are tortured animals themselves", and that the idea was discarded upon "study". Like "evil spirits" was a perfectly possible explanation as far as rational people were concerned.

That, plus how aura was associated with possessing a soul, reminded me to the livestream where RT was asked if there were religions in Remnant and they answered that yes, but that they weren't sure about how it would come into play in the story.

It makes me think that more "mystical" things might come into play. With the whole "animals have souls" thing I can imagine an animistic belief system.
