Goddess Worship: in this context the belief that a female focused religion in prehistoric times that was somehow swept away by men.
This is popular among neo-pagans who may or may not believe in matriarchal politics. Neo-pagan female supremacists naturally believe and cite it. They believe that the universe’s guiding force is feminine; that women are priestesses uniquely able to mediate between this cosmic divinity and mankind. An argument that never impresses atheists and agnostics.
Speculative theology aside very, very few anthropologists or archaeologists agree that a matriarchal religion or society was common in ancient times. Books that retail this information are often using long since discredited ethnological writings and historical wishful thinking.
Besides ancient people did many things that we would regard as nasty and brutal. No reason to adapt our behavior to the practices of 100,000 BC.
