I have always thought the fact that so many cultures have a "higher power" was similar to why so many cultures have their own versions of vampires and werewolves, not to mention man-beasts.
Humans have the tendancy to rationalize things in a very similar way, no matter where you are on earth. how many old religions had a thunder god? A sun god? how similar were they, culture to culture?
Just because everyone believes that unicorns are white, doesnt mean they are, if you catch my drift.
