Is religion unique to humans?
Are there any animals that portray any traditions or practices that cannot be trivialized to a mechanical purpose?

Elephants and chimpanzees have some forms of proto religion, I think. I forget what the evidence was for chimpanzees, but elephants have funeral rituals.

Don't orcas have some form of culture?
>>
>>1790251
Oh yeah, and the proto-religion for chimps was them stacking rocks in a hollowed out tree and repeatedly banging on it for no particular reason.

>>1790240
The elephant death ritual is more of a grieving process rather than any form of spiritual ritual. Which is impressive in its own way but not exactly the answer to OP's question.

>>1790255
Just sounds like chimp shit posting
>>
>>1790251
They pass novel, learned information down generations, which could be considered a form of culture. But OP specified things that couldn't be reduced to a mechanical purpose, and as far as I know they mostly do pass on useful information like novel hunting techniques. I could be completely wrong about that though.

Whale sing.
Roosters crow
Birds sing
Wolves howl

These are all tradition to their respective species.

Aliens believe in God. I know because they told me.

We can't even agree on what human religion is.

Elephants have some sort of spirituality

I wonder if ants have a religion.

Hello Tesla.

If ants were intelligent we'd never know.

No, there are k*rds that managed to imitate human behaviour and have some form of islamic belief-system.
