      Not to contradict the great Dominar (although it wouldn’t be the first time someone did), but there are many pre-literate folk religions that don’t have any sacred texts. There’s also no universal sacred texts for Wiccans and Shinto doesn’t really have sacred texts. There are texts considered important, but I don’t think sacred would be the right word for them since they’re not considered divine.
