Often these societies developed gods that had the power to control the growth of crops or to control the weather. Both of these things were extreamly important for neolithic groups who had just begun to rely on agriculture to survive. They believed that by praying or sacrificing to these gods thatthey would have a bountiful harvest. The amount of crops they grew was one of the main factors in whether they lived or died so it makes sense they would make their gods have these powers.

A form of collective social behavior that persists over a long period and gradually finds place as a tradition is called a custom. Examples:

Drinking a glass of wine with each meal--French custom (although that might changing due to economic woe and other variables)

Saying a prayer before each meal--Latin American custom (although it's a custom in other places too, and not every Latin American does this)
