Sure can:Eliade argues that religious thought in general rests on a sharp distinction between the Sacred and the profane; whether it takes the form of God, gods, or mythical Ancestors, the Sacred contains all “reality”, or value, and other things acquire “reality” only to the extent that they participate in the sacred
