| Feb 8, 2017 at 14:19 | comment | added | NSNoob | @T.E.D. I was referring to Buddhism in the answer below (Added link to question instead of answer somehow) which can be argued to be a philosophy instead of a religion and subsequent civilizations that adopted to it such as Indian Civilization under Ashoka. I am here using a very loose definition of Civilization e.g. I consider the Altaic Nomads of Steppes to have their own nomadic civilization. | |
| Feb 8, 2017 at 14:10 | comment | added | T.E.D.♦ | @NSNoob - I don't think that link says what you imply. From the accepted answer, most folks wouldn't call pygmies a "civilization" (they historically were the stereotypical example of "uncivilized" people), and Jainism is most definitely a religion. | |

| Feb 8, 2017 at 10:53 | comment | added | NSNoob | There have been civilizations which do not have a religion or religious system. There have been civilizations formed by people with no advanced technologies. There have been civilizations who did not have a written language. What you state are contributing factors in building a great/established/stable civilization. | |
